Picked up the Anyscan A30D to reprogram my Adaptive settings on my transmission to help with the jerky downshift from 2nd and 3rd gears. Worked exactly as expected. If anyone in the Hamilton and surrounding area would like their transmission reset drop me a message. Will do it for $20.1000005055.webp

Isn't that just a temporary fix?
I have the A30M, it does the reset as well.
I f you even need the reset let me know, I will do it free for you.
I know you are local to me.
Its the adaptive TCU that causes it, sometimes it learns oddly to say the least.
I have never had to do it to mine, its still smooth as silk, but Im a highway driver primarily.

Thanks! No need for it here, mine has never had the rough shift issues. Anything adaptive will likely end up back where it was before a reset which is why I wanted to warn people so they dont waste $20 on a temp fix.

So you have no first hand knowledge about the issue, never attempted the remedy but tell people not to waste their time, enjoy the harsh downshift.. Unfortunately for those that have the issue who take it to the dealer, unless under warranty they are going to get charged more than the one time $20 I'm offering. Dealers will claim it's normal behavior and charge to have it done. Once reset its important to drive conservatively in Comfort Mode for a while with no harsh braking.

I agree, the harsh downshifting is usually a direct result of aggressive driving during the initial learn period for the TCU.
And 20 bucks is a fraction of what the dealers would charge
 
Its been about 6 weeks since I did mine. No indication of hard shifting has resurfaced. Also noticed that up shifts are also a lot smoother. Well worth the investment for those interested.
 
I need this done but not in your area. Is it easy to do with this tool? I saw a youtube video of someone doing it with a $700 top down tool and it looks fairly simple
