Poll: Does this "Homemade" Transmission Reset work for you?

blue2fire · 07-03-2009, 08:10 PM

This process is a myth that owners of almost all BMW Series believe in, i tried this at least five times to no avail. Has anybody had the same experience?

Quote:

1. Turn cars electronics on-push start button once or twice without turning the actual engine on.

2.Hold the gas pedal to the floor for 25 seconds

3. Most times you will hear the gearbox resetting itself and hear some "noise" coming from your car but not always noticable so dont worry if you dont

4 Now start your car and enjoy the gearbox reset to its factor settings and open for all new learning. The shifts are silky smooth again and shift points shift faster-basically it totally makes your tranny perform better.

No, it doesn't, at least not in the way most people think it does, and this post explains why:
