Yes and they blew their CVT within 2 weeks of doing so... The CVT on the 2.5 is weaker than the 3.5.

Shift shock is what traditional style autos do while shifting gears. They jerk a little bit while shifting gears. The CVT, having no gears/infinite gears doesn't "shift shock". It finds the best fuel efficient/power efficient way of getting you from A to B.
