Very interesting. I stumbled across a similar thing on a 2002 BMW I bought used. It had a hard down shift 2-1. I lived with that for years until the battery died. After replacing it, the shifts were smooth so I figured it had adaptive learning which was reset by disconnecting the battery. Wish I had done that years before. Now I have a 2013 Ford Escape and it often has a hard shift going up from 2-3. It's a shame it can't be reset by disconnecting the battery.

@naomicas788 5 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the explanation of the "learning cycle" after clearing codes. Every time I disconnected the battery - hence clearing the codes - on a 1999 Windstar (the famous 171-174 lean) I used to go thru a bunch of steps in an "OBD2 run cycle" - better performed at a time with NO traffic at all- and now I am glad I did as this cycle was not just aimed at clearing the emission codes(...)

@christopherboone9802 2 жыл бұрын

You do NOT clear the transmission tables by disconnecting the battery...it does not do that...it will clear your check engine light but any issues will turn it back on. Your transmission tables have to be cleared via a software scan tool like Forscan

I've had issues with the DSP6 transmission in my Fiesta. It wasn't shifting right and would sometimes leave me with no power at all until it decided to shift. All I knew was that it was a transmission control module malfunction. Well after thousands of miles I got home and hooked it up to my wifi odb2 tool and cleared all the codes and honestly didn't imagine it would resolve my transmission issues. I was just trying to see if I had any other faults. It did however fix my transmission completely. I was able to do 90 at 4k while before I couldn't do 80 without pushing 5k. And it hasn't slipped once. Also i've been getting 41 mph average which I have never seen in the year i've owned it let alone on this road trip where it would have saved me $200. Oh and I am certain Ford would have insisted I needed clutch or transmission service, well hopefully my friend wouldn't have screwed me as he was an adult leader of mine when I was in Scouts. But if it wasn't for having a friend on the inside I wouldn't have trusted Ford not to rob me blind.

Learned something today I never knew ! I have a 2017 Escape with the 2.0. I drive normal and pretty easy. Once in a while I "lay into it" and thought I had a trans problem. When I pull away from a light or stop sign real hard It revs real high like the trans is slipping going into 2nd or 3 rd gear. It only does it 1 time. From then on, it shifts fine when I "lay into it". A few days later it does that again. Only once, then fine after that. Didn't know the trans "learns" like the video shows. Saved me a trip to the dealer to tell them I might have low trans fluid and its slipping. Its under warranty, and no dipstick to check the fluid. Saved me a trip to the dealer !!

I've noticed the exact same transmission quirks you had... 2nd and 3rd gear, but lay into it, then it goes away for a day or two. So my question is.. did you follow through with the direction from the video? Put a scan tool on it and clear adaptive trans program?

Just did this on 11/ 11 / 2022 - bought a 2007 Hybrid and just did this today. It was revving to 5000 RPM while driving from 50 mph to 70 mph. It also was trying to shift gears between 3 and 4th - i don't believe it has 5 gears. At any rate, did this - and it WORKED! The truck I bought only had 130 miles on her. Seller told me about the high rpms, but when I drove it - the truck wasn't slipping gears, it just felt to me that the computer needed to be reset. It's like this A LOT with BMWs too - but with them you don't need to hook up anything to reset the drive tables.

I'll admit they can be harder to find, but on a couple instances I have had to pay an independent shop to diagnose and report an issue so I can get Ford to honor their warranty. For someone like me who takes it in for a strange nosie before the engine grenades you would think they would appreciate that.

try another ford dealer? if theres one close by. if its an intermittent issue its really hard for the flat rate guys to spend any time on the vehicle when they can't duplicate the concern within first road test. try and find a way to duplicate the concern so they service advisor can leave that on the work order. lots of service advisors are duds and don't know anything about vehicles..its just a place to be to get money. there is some pretty ridiculous complaints that dealers get on weird noises. sometimes its in the customers head. sometimes it just takes complaining to your salesman and the service manager. our two foreman work on some really stupid complaints but they get er done for the customer.

@@FordTechMakuloco I just want to know what a harsh shift is, because my 2009 ford focus doesn't seem to have a set shift rpm, like my older vehicles I have driven, and the further I press the pedal, the more RPMs it takes before shifting gears, and it will usually shift in such a way as to snap my neck forward and back in a jerking motion, now and again

@brentneahring2797 3 жыл бұрын

@@northwiebesick7136 I would define a harsh shift as very noticeable, and based on tachometer rpm readings, if you feel the shift it's too hard; the best shift you'll never notice and they'll be soft. I myself gotta get the KAM reset in my taurus sho because the previous owner raced it and it shifts hard even with light throttle input.

Hey I really like your channel I currently own a 2007 Ford Fusion SE AWD FNR5 transmission and it has a funny upshift from first to second and overall hi shift points in this video your talking about a specific transmission do you know if the FNR5 transmission has the same adaptable capability if so would I take the same steps to reset the learning drive cycle and if you could also help me in determining whether or not I have to take the valve body down to change the transmission filter or is it right inside the pan like transmissions on this transmission!

@thomasjman 6 жыл бұрын

I have a scan tool to reset the learning. My cars gets a 2-3 shift hang then bump into 3rd. Resetting the learned shifts fixes the problem. 100% perfect shifts for about 150 miles then it slowly comes back. By 500 miles or so the same 2-3 shift is back. Dealer tells me this is normal. I know its not normal, its just nobody knows how to fix it. You can read ALL day on google about people having trouble with the 2-3 shift in the fusions

@ramivalencia 6 жыл бұрын

Does it stall after filling up the gas stank? If so, the car's purge valve might be clogged up or faulty. My car never stalled, but it came close once or twice. Then the Check Engine Light came on after I started to notice it was using more gas than usual and the exhaust fumes smelled a bit rich, as if some of the gas wasn't being burned properly. Took it to the dealer a month before the CEL came on and they found nothing. Of course, once the CEL came on they found the issue and replaced the purge valve. To be honest, if you're handy with you tools, buy the purge valve from a trusted ebay seller and replace it yourself. It'll save you about $300. But of course, first run an OBD scanner on your car and see if the P144A fault is found. If that fault comes up, it's confirmation that the purge valve is the culprit.

@@AndrewTewes Thing is, one persons harsh/hard shift that seems bad may be another persons firm shift that is good to them. My 2016 Fusion's 3-4 shift is like mush. Way too soft a shift. Firmer shifts are better than slow soft shifts. There is slipping during soft shifts, much less slip with firm shifts. Years ago when I worked in a trans shop we used to shift kit transmissions to get firmer, better quality shifts. My Fusion doesn't shift firm enough on any shift.
