my dealer recently reset my adaptations for my trans, i was just wondering is there like a break in period for my trans to get used to my driving style?

[ihsanshaik]

I was wondering about this too. I'd like to reset mine. Maybe it's a waste of time, but I thought it might be a good idea since I was not the original owner of the car.

Car will learn over time. Mine took about a month to learn my style.

id go for it, i think its better if the car learns your driving style. i wasmt the orig. owner of my car either.

You guys crack me up. You don't need to reset the adaptations if you have owned the car for any length of time. Once you have been driving it for a few days, it's as 'adapted' as it's going to get. There is no need to obsess about clearing out that store run the previous owner made in 2009 in which he drove like a total puss.

LOL exactly! The car adapts to your driving habits. So if you're driving like grandma for a few days it will adapt to that and a few days later if you start driving like you're racing to a booty call it will adapt to that. The adaptations change depending on your driving habits.

not entirely true........my service manager reset my adaptations due to the fact that my trans was jerking when coming to a stop.i didnt do it because i want it to learn my driving style....MY SA was even the one who suggested to do the reset.

Okay, so there was something wrong with your car. If it is functioning normally, the adaptation process is just a "rolling" adjustment of the shift maps based on how the driver typically drives. There is no voodoo involved as so many seem to think. How the car was driven last year, last month or even last week has no bearing on how the transmission will perform today.

i agree, i only did the reset because it was reccommended as a "fix", otherwisse i never would have done it..

Is it okay to do so on a high mileage car.

I thought the adaptation was putting the key on ON then pressing the gas pedal for 30 seconds, release and wait for 2min. If its software I'll ask my SA to update then.
