I've noticed that my BMW 5 Series' transmission has been shifting a bit inconsistently lately. Is there a way to reset the adaptive transmission to improve its performance and smooth out the shifts?
ReplyHi Emily, yes, there is a way to reset the adaptive transmission on your BMW 5 Series. First, drive your car for at least 10 minutes to ensure the transmission is at operating temperature. Then, find a straight and flat road where you can accelerate to about 40mph and then quickly decelerate to a stop. Repeat this at least 5 times. This will reset the transmission's learning mode and should improve its performance.
Hey Emily, I've had the same issue with my BMW 5 Series in the past. Another thing you can try is disconnecting the battery for at least 5 minutes and then reconnecting it. This will also reset the adaptive transmission. Just be aware that you may need to reprogram any saved settings in your car after doing this.
Hi Emily, one thing I've found helpful is to get an oil change and have the transmission fluid replaced to the recommended specification. This can sometimes improve the performance of the adaptive transmission and may be worth trying before resetting it.
