Smart transmission ?

My neighbor has suggested that i disconnect my battery so that my transmission can "relearn" my driving habits. Is there any truth to this, or is he just goofing on me? Thanks

Depending on which tranny you have. The owners manual mentions this on the 4R100 tranny, but doesn't mention it on the 4R70W.

I've heard that you can pretty much do that with any modern transmission. In the 4R70W it really doesn't affect too much. It may change the valve open/shut timing within the valve body. I believe this is the only electronically controlled variable within it. As far as performance, you'll never see or feel a difference. This could be why it's not in the owners manual.

It doesn't hurt to try (unless you hate reprogramming the radio!)
