Has anyone noted that if you hold down the gas pedal for more than 30 seconds, say a minute the trick will not work. I noticed this after some playing around and many times i would hold down the pedal for a minute or 40 seconds just to make sure I got it right.

What i noticed was the transmission reset did not occur, but when i held the pedal for less than or equal to 30 seconds the transmission did in fact reset. Thought id share this little discovery.

 

how can you tell if it works or not anyways?

 

drive it after, how does it feel? smoother, more responsive shifting? then it worked

 

true true......but there isn't any kind of confirmation. Mind could be just playing tricks

 

For a long time I would put the car in drive (D) , turn off with gear in (D), turn the key 1 hold for 25-30 seconds and you can hear a low rumble when turn key.

For some reason I would feel my active steering more responsive I think I was going crazy.

 

Well it was easy for me to tell. Because I did this on my fathers car and when in DS mode he's car would force a shift at 3k in first gear. It worked when the car drove smooth and no more forcing a shift.

 

what exactly is the trans reset? what r then procedures

 

Do a search for tranny reset and you'll find it.

 

I'll try this tommorow.

 

Forgot to mention, i had tried to do the transmission reset and held the pedal for about a minute and there was no difference, still shifted hard. Tried again about 30 secs and it worked like a charm.
