Hi,

this transmission adapts itself. Means it takes care of how the drivers is driving and adapts this to his programm. This is what can be resettet easily. But i think that won't help in that case.

Below that layer is an overall adaption. This adaption can be earased and relearned by driving sequences. But this is not a simple task and can't be done without a PIWIS system.

Best would be to diagnose the AT with PIWIS and check if there are AT parameters out of specs.

Also i would recommend to check the ATF level. And always do a ATF and ATF filter change with every oil change, because the AT has 12 litres of oil but you only change 4 litres, so you only dilute the oil.

Regards, Markus
