Question Regarding Any Upgrades for a Southern PS-4 Model 6-11103

At the risk of wearing out my welcome after getting so much assistance regarding my random chuff problem on my Southern Mountain, I ask the following question:

My 2006 6-11103 Southern PS-4 is my favorite locamotive.  Perhaps because my grandfather a conductor on the Southern RR back in the early 1900's, makes me partial to this one.  This is a Cab-1 Odyssey system.  How can I upgrade this engine to have the same level of realization as my Legacy systems?  More specifically, despite making every possible setting changes in my Legacy controller program for this engine, it does not have the same level a precise speed steps allowing for a realistic slow start.  Instead it engages quickly with a sudden jerk to start rolling.  The same is true when trying for a realistic stop, it steps down as it slows but reaches a point where it just stops.

I have removed the motor to make sure the flywheel and shaft are tight, and other than a small amount of lash going to the driver main gear, everything seems snug.

Perhaps I am splitting hairs here, but I have other Legacy systems from the Southern RR and would love to have my Crescent Limited run to the same realizem.

Any ideas?

Randy
