    I've got one of those infrared temperature gun things. Bought it so i could shoot it at random women and say "you are THIS hot".... so I used this thing to get my transmission oil temp. Reading was from the bottom of the transmission sump.

    I believe the temperature specified is for a "warmed up" but possibly not yet driven transmission.
    I'm not a complete idiot - some bits are missing.

    The fluid temp should be logable using Evoscan, but the standard setup won't allow logging engine and tranny at the same time so I've not looked into it. Also there's not a lot known about exactly what tranny info is available and how it is scaled...

    All I've done is let it idle for a couple of minutes in P,R,N and D and then drive normally. Drives normal.

    I notice in the upshift learning procedure section the advice "not required if the N-D, N-R engagement learning procedure just performed". That implies that we can do the upshift procedure independently of the N-D, N-R engagement procedure. However the sentence implies that if we *haven't* just performed the engagement learning procedure then the upshift procedure needs a battery disconnect to begin with.

    This is a bit weird because as soon as we disconnect the battery arent we then required to do the engagement learning procedure? Due to the reset? Maybe in the workshop there is some reason where these can be done separately, but i assume that we must follow both procedures as described to ensure proper learning.

    The engagement procedure states that the ATF temp must be between 30-50.
    The next instruction after the 30/50deg statement is about the idle falling below 1000 RPM. Isnt the author telling us thats the actual method to ensure the ATF is between 30-50deg? Doesn't it mean that the ATF temp will be between 30 and 50 when the RPM falls below 1000?

    For the upshift learning procedure, the document states "higher than 50deg C, idle egine to warm up". There is no upper bound mentioned, only the lower bound of 50. If thats correct then we should idle the car to full operating temperature, say 10-15 mins?

    To correctly follow the procedure, a workshop would use a MUT-III to monitor ATF temperature (via the diagnostic connector).
