Dakota 2WD V8-5.9L VIN Z LDC (2000)
NOTE:
THE TRANSMISSION OIL TEMPERATURE MUST BE ABOVE 110°F (43°C).
1).
At a vehicle speed between 40 - 60 MPH, perform repeated 4-3 kickdown shifts.
2).
Repeat step 1 until the UD volume becomes somewhat stable and the shift becomes smooth.
Procedure To Learn A Smooth 1-2 Upshift and 3-2 Kickdown:
Use the following steps to have the TCM learn the 2C shift volume.
NOTE:
THE TRANSMISSION OIL TEMPERATURE MUST BE ABOVE 110°F (43°C).
1).
With a vehicle speed below 30 MPH and the transmission in 3rd gear, perform multiple 3-2 kickdowns.
2).
Repeat step 1 until the 3-2 kickdowns become smooth and the 2C CVI becomes stable.
Procedure To Learn A Smooth Manual 2-1 Pulldown Shift As Well As A Neutral To Reverse Shift:
Use the following steps to have the TCM learn the LR volume.
NOTE:
THE TRANSMISSION OIL TEMPERATURE MUST BE ABOVE 110°F (43°C).
1).
With the vehicle speed around 25-30 MPH in Manual 2nd, perform manual pulldowns to Low or 1st gear at closed throttle.
2).
Repeat step 1 until the LR CVI become stable and the manual 2-1 becomes smooth.
Procedure To Learn A Smooth Neutral To Reverse Shift:
Perform the following shifts.
NOTE:
THE TRANSMISSION OIL TEMPERATURE MUST BE ABOVE 110°F (43°C).
1).
With the vehicle at a stop, perform Neutral to Reverse shifts until the shift is smooth. An unlearned Neutral to Reverse shift may be harsh or
exhibit a double bump.
If any of the shifts are still not smooth after the clutch volume stabilizes, an internal transmission problem may be present.
