He did not mention that and it was not on the bill, so unfortunately it wasn't done. Is this part of 60k service?

No, because Porsche still thinks the ATF is good for 90K, which is idiotic, but there you are. You missed a truly golden opportunity to drain the trans and the converter while it was out, the only time that can be done; and you would have ended up with a completely fresh system.

The Tip should relearn all on its own, the only thing a PST II or PIWIS can do is reinstall the original software, it cannot "force" the gearbox controller to do anyting.
