Link is dead but this is what I figured you were referencing. I am pretty sure audible knock feedback dictates timing correction intensity and duration. Torque reduction via traction control and TCU logic are done in the form of multiplicative load adjustments not timing corrections (as far as I understand anyway).
I mentioned tuning because it's speculated that timing during shifts can induce knock. Even ATs have "off throttle" moments. Look at a log and you'll see timing go negative during an upshift which is done for many reasons. Timing and intensity of timing re-introduction during the gear change can induce knock as well. Not gonna lie I haven't read through all 8 pages of this thread though LOL Or the other "let end this" thread... I am here because the N55 needs the 2048 torque limiter logic re-written like what was done with N54s! Good luck.
