What happens when you shift gears in a VW transaxle?

What to do when 2.1-2 shift does not happen?
2. 1-2 shift does not happen at WOT (Wide Open Throttle) until you let off the gas: Best case: try replacing the TPS. Middle case: leak in the 2nd gear apply circuit (servo assembly or 1-2 accumulator). Double check by using the pressure gauge and watch for a big drop when the PCM commands 2nd gear.
How does a Mercedes-Benz transmission adaptive shifting work?
It does this by monitoring different sensors such as the throttle or the gas pedal input and more. In other words, it learns your driving style. If you race your Mercedes-Benz, it will remember that and keep the gearbox in gear longer. If you drive it gently, it will adapt to that as well and change gears earlier.
What happens when you reset the transmission shift points?
It is not going to make your shifting abnormal. If your gear shifts are abnormal you have something else going on. Resetting the transmission shift points makes the transmission the same as when the car is out of the factory. Within 30 driving cycles, the ECU will monitor your driving habits and adapt the shifting points to your driving style.
