How to reset adaptive transmission?

I seem to recall that there was some procedure to reset the adaptive
transmission on A4/MKIV cars. Something about turning on the ignition
and holding the accelerator all the way down for a certain length of
time.

If this is true, is there a similar procedure for the MKV cars?

Thanks,

Bill

Don't you drive it like crazy if you want it to go in agressive mode.

That's funny. It sounds just like what I said.

Their procedure
"Go!
Press accelerator pedal all the way to the floor and count out loud 3
seconds.
Done, Go Back
Release the accelerator pedal."

Sounds like driving like a madman. ;-) When my brother had a Camero
with a 350 I would do that. Go, dump the clutch or not, hold throttle
to floorboard for three seconds. Release, yell go after banging in to
second gear. Repeat one more time. Going pretty fast in a car with
worn out ball joints. Scream and slow down. Much better after new ball
joints.

lol it is just what you said but they said use their tool, but you will
see nothing indicating that operation was complete! ;-)

I used to burn out my 2 speed powerglide in my firebird doing that GO
method. lol
Traded that thing on a Bradley GT and we were both happy with the trade.

That seems a bit ambiguous.
