I have been having down shift issues for a while now and since I have 3rd party warranty I am going to rebuild my transmission for other reasons then the down shift I am having. The X5 is at 117K. I have been reading old posts on the board with people on here doing this Transmission Reset thing and they say that the hard down shift goes away... So I decided to try it. Please correct me if I am wrong:

- turn key to position II
- press gas pedal all the way to the floor, past the 'click'
- hold like this for ~ 30 seconds
- lift foot off gas pedal
- turn key all the way to the right (i.e. start car)
- drive forward

I have done this twice so far and I felt no difference nor have I seen anything saying on the cluster saying that something has been done. Am I suppose to see something different or just guess blindly if the transmission adaptions were reset?
