If you don't use the scan tool to reset the adaptives - it just takes longer for the trans controller to learn again - by driving it and performing various upshift and down shifts - it will accomplish the same learning - this is called the "drive learn". It only learns between approx. 80 to 120 F - lower or higher than these temps - it won't learn.



That's what I was thinking. My transmission builder won't let you pick up your vehicle after a rebuild til he puts 20 miles on it. Thanks for chiming in.
