So after driving out to the location where I was going to reset the adaptations (again) and then perform the ZF prescribed adaptation routine, I was so impressed with the transmission's shift operation that I decided not to do it.

Each time I drive the car, the shift operation improves and it's now operating near perfectly!

I understand the need for the ZF adaptation routine, if you are a service provider working on a customers car and need to return the vehicle to the customer with the adaptation routine completed - but for us DIY-types, I'd suggest it's not actually required - just drive it normally and it'll sort itself, over time. And not much time, either.

I'm very happy to have done this simple (sic) service routine!
