[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 983744, member: 52972"] Perhaps Todd Z is correct and you must disconnect the battery for 30 minutes (not 15 minutes) to get the Transmission computer to reset? Not sure what stepping on the brake does? If the TCM has a learning memory, then it would have to have some way to be cleared and reset, but if Lou has been driving the vehicle without any modifications to the engine or transmission, it should have already learned...that's why I think he has a fluid or valvebody problem with his transmission or perhaps a computer failure? Of course, resetting the computers to relearn is always the cheapest attempt to fix the problem, but the best first step is to simply removing the dip stick and checking the level and condition of the fluid :grin: If you drive around with burnt fluid while the computers are trying to relearn, you might be doing more damage to the transmission. Checking the fluid is always the best first step, it only takes a minute and costs nothing. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
