That’s a common misconception.  Ford transmissions don’t learn driving habits.  They check each shift and compare it to factory spec.  If it’s out of spec it adjusts the pressure for the next shift.  This is by gear, rpm and throttle position.

Thank you!  This is very useful information.  Since the shifting points for this vehicle are confusing, silly and redundant; would an aftermarket tune have beneficial properties that minimize the weird shifting?  Also, perhaps you would know or could point me in the direction of any future TCBs that pertain to the transmission?  Tyi.

Some vehicles up shift at redline, others don’t.  My 2000 Lincoln LS was the first selectshift vehicle and it would just bounce off the rev limiter.  It’s not consistent from vehicle to vehicle.

Ok, that makes sense...  Do you know by chance; whether or not the PCM learns driving habits while using the paddle shifters?  Almost same idea as a trans flash...

Funny how it says that the vehicle doesn't automatically shift gears if approaching redline.  I call b.s. on that; due to 2nd and 3rd being stupidly identical, the vehicle shifts for me (while using the paddle shifters in sport mode).
