  1. So i did 2 tranny drain/fills with running the car on the lift at temp between flushes. Then drove to my buddy at the dealer he put it on the lift and cleared memory 2 and activated the relearn procedure. The ssm3 walks you right through the process. Car does need to be in the air for the procedure though as it tests the awd system with the ebrake on (front wheels spin as it learns).

     

    I have a feeling the 07 or 08+ tcu has a different learning process as my buddy said they dont need to do that whole 12% throttle plate angle and switch through gears. It adapts once you drive it. Drove it out of the dealer and could tell it waa learning between gears still as all geat changes had a delay. As i drove it more the gear changes were quicker. So far, its much better and the tranny seems more responsive to downshifts and firmer upshifts. We attempted to do the ssm3 relearn procesure whith the car on the ground but it didnt work since the front wheels need to be spinning for it to learn the awd system. After numerous switches to P R N D the ssm3 said process finished normally. I have an open source tune on and it didnt interfere with the process nor could my buddy tell i had a tune when doing this process. Just an fyi.

  2. What's funny with my situation, and Apex-xt had a similar one, is when my motor was out my battery was left connected and it ran dead and needed a recharge(about a week ago). i wonder if this caused some of this weird shift things. regardless, i'm doing an ssm3 relearn tomorrow with my buddy master tech...
  3. ahhh, well. in that case maybe your shifter linkages are worn out causing the gear selection to not line up properly? im not well versed on the 4eat as they seem to be rather robust and/or well suited for n/a cars' power levels. have you done a proper atf flush? or just a pan drain/fill. there's a subaru procedure that resets the tcu learning parameters, then the tech switches it between P R N D and according to the manual, the time lapse should be no more than 1.2seconds between modes
  4. interesting. like i said in the other thread, i did a pan drain and fill about 10-15k ago and when i checked the fluid on the dipstick yesterday, it was pretty bright red. when i installed the tranny cooler on friday night, the atf in those lines were anything but cherry red. more like
