7AT "learning"
Could someone explain the “learning” a transmission does from how it is driven? I keep seeing references to how it adjusts based on your driving patterns but would like to know more. I am sure there is a great article on it on this site somewhere but being a newbie I can’t seem to find it. Thanks for any hints or links.

the "adaptation" is pretty frequent. if you want to drive hard all the time you need to drive hard all the time. if you spend like a trip babying it, it'll back off and be less aggressive
the only option is to leave it in DS and it defaults so some programmed "sporty" shift.
the IPL has a different program, tuned to be more aggressive.

Thanks again for you response, I really have opened Pandora's Box, and am loving every second!

Apparently the TCM's programming actually has a shift aggressiveness table, with negative and positive values, and can be read/seen with the dealer computer and even altered. I think negative values = shift torque hardness, and positive values = softer shifts. I tried to get the tech to read my tables one day out of curiosity but he told me that if he read them, he had to reset them and charge me 90 bucks labor fee, so I declined.
There's another thread around here from like a year or more ago somewhere that discusses this in detail.
