>car feels like brand new
dealers hate this one simple trick

With a multi-clutch auto you're actually supposed to do that first if you notice any issues like shuddering. They "learn" for a few miles when the car is new and you manually have to reset it after some time. Not many ppl seem to know about it, so props to you.

ZF explicitly tells you NOT to do this though. Once the transmission is well worn the correct values have moved so far from default it won't be able to recover and relearn from 0. Basically if you reset it your trans is fucked and there's nothing they can do.
Maybe inferior gook crap is different though. The ZF transmission will always shift perfectly because it's continuously adapting to how the transmission wears and ages.

We get it, you drive automatic BMWs. And yes, the ZF continuously re-learns and you should do the procedure only after replacing something in the trans. I used to be an engineer for Hyundai working on their DCT failures which is how I know, theirs don't constantly learn.
Also, just saying "ZF" on a general car board is just as ricer as saying your chassis code in stead of car name.

Lexus Automatics learn.
But It's in the wrong direction.
The shift quality will just keep on getting more retarded until you reset.
I remove me battery (-) every oil change for that reason.
Idk why Lexus does that.
More reliable than any ZF, but the shift quality is way worse.

Couldnt be me

which is funny because lexus have been doing this "learning" feature for decades now
my gs400 had it and it was utterly useless at best and detrimental at worst

Resetting transmission adaptives is one of the quickest ways to develop shift problems behind standing hard launches and never changing the fluid/filter.

The adaptives aren't meant to reset. They exist so the trans compensates for wearout and, in a small way, actual damage.
You pop your adaptives fresh and now the trans is dealing with factory-spec shifting logic on a worn out unit, probably leaking pressure, and most probably not controlling clutch applies with respect to the clutch pack's wearout.
Trans adaptive reset is retarded NPC logic. It MIGHT feel better for the first few days, but as a worn trans is getting hammered by full spec uncontrolled shifting it's turning kept-borderline parts quickly into "shit is now officially fucked"

GM 4 speed car i used to have, WOT made loud hard BANG from 2nd to 3rd. Classic piston spring broken symptom. Adaptives aint gonna help that they'll fuck up the gear bands and clutches even more.

This thread reminds me of a coworker of mine who is convinced automatic transmissions are invincible and never wear down. He views standard transmission as a poverty spec thing. I wonder how he's gonna react when his Camry's tranny finally gives out.

Not all DSGs have adaptive learning. Some learn when new then you have to manually re-do the learning process when it's worn. The "reset" doesn't bring it back to some factory default setting, it goes through the whole process of learning again to get used to any changes or excessive wear.

Sometimes slushbox torque converters or DSG clutches fail faster than a manual clutch. Lots of cars have been totalled in the past b/c the torque converter fails, the shop tells them "it needs a new transmission" and it's worth more than the car. But people still believe there are no wear parts for some reason.

my car has under 16000 km and was produced in 2024
we are not the same anon :(
i'm sorry
