The adaptations relating to the style of driving are reset with every engine start. This is the one what is reset by holding the throttle down. Could just turn the key off and do the same thing.

The adaptations inside the transmission that require a GT1 or similar to reset, and which adapt for transmission wear and fluid condition, can be reset and they stick.

what is your method of the tranny reset? I have tried everything that I have read in these forums and I don't get the same confirmation as other people ie. light on dash, a beep, none of that.

do you have an actual confirmation or do u just "feel" a difference?

Turn the ignition key to the on position; all lights on dash are on but engine "MUST NOT" running, press the gas pedal all the down to the floor and hold it for 30-40 seconds (make sure the floor mat is not under the gas pedal).
No light shown after the procedure. Transmission is shifting smoother now.

I have have 09 4.8 that seems to be experiencing this as well. Shifts are not smooth. Can you show the write from the dealership. I'll mention this point when I take my vehicle in for the braking system recall (07-10 X5's with eight cylinders). Thanks.
