Removing Adaptive Learning from the Transmission on My 2018 F150!

I'm going to show you how to remove or stop the adaptive learning on your F150 using FORScan! This is applicable to many Ford vehicles and applies to 2015-2020 F150s. Do this mod at your own risk as it is a newer FORScan feature. I've been running it now for about 2,000 miles and have noticed an improvement in shifting.

Thank you! It worked in my 2018 f150 Raptor.

I did clear the tables and turned it off and it shifts so much better. Way better than it learning ;no more confused/inconsistent shifting.

Glad to hear!

Thanks for the info. I just thought the adaptive learning would adjust the transmission shift points based on the driver's driving tendencies. Didn't know it made adjustments based on wear etc.

@SmackeysGarage 5 ай бұрын

I thought that originally too. If you go through the tsbs ford calls out it is for manufacturing and wear reasons

Amazing video, you are a good teacher. Hope this fixes my hard shifting 2020 F-150.

Thanks! If you haven’t already reset the tables I’d start there. Let me know how it works out for you.

Great video, keep us updated. BTW, did you notice much difference between clearing the codes and turning it off?

@SmackeysGarage 4 ай бұрын

So not a staggering difference but I did notice some. It’s still driving great. Maybe better than before.

I have a 2019 XLT Sport with the 3.5. Mine was shifting hard between 3rd and 4th. I took it in last November to get the APIM for my infotainment system replaced, and get a few other issues fixed. I told them to check the programming while they had it in the shop. The mechanic ended up suggesting a complete rebuild of my transmission. Mine was a bushing in the tail shaft of the drum that holds the clutches for the 10R80. It moved and basically killed my transmission. Since then, I’ve done lots of research, and that is a pretty common failure with the 10R80 as well as issues with wear inside the aluminum drum that holds the clutches. Luckily I have Ford’s extended service plan, so instead of 9500 bucks for a new transmission, it was a 100 dollar deductible. If you want to get a lot of good info on the eco boost engines or the 10R80 transmission, Flying Wrenches KZbin channel is a good source. He works on them all the time.

Luckily you did have that plan... That's such an expensive repair/replacement! I'll check out his channel. Thank you!

ford escape 2015 se 1.6, 6F35 transmission; at 65000km mileage it started to shift hard 1-2 when stepping light on gas; did twice atf simple drain and fill but still shifts hard 1-2; but after I cleared transmission adaptive table with forscan, shifts were noticeably smoother and the hard shifting 1-2 disappeared.

Awesome video, I have a Question I have a f150 10 speed and I bought it used and a couple months after driving it and when the 5th and 8th gear shift I feel it kind of clunk a little bit, I changed the fluids in the transmission it helped a bit but do you think this would help? I would really appreciate a reply as I’ve been trying to fix this issue for a while thanks

You would be better off starting off clearing the transmission adaptive tables. See this video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXnFpHyYpKiZmMU

I just bought a 19 F150 eco boost and I’m having the same issue with a slight clunk sometimes. I’m going to be doing this today to see if it works

@shawntatyrek 3 ай бұрын

18 F150 3.5 ecoboost with a little over 100,000 miles. Mine has always clunked a little into 5th and 8th gear.

I have an ‘18 5.0L with 75k miles, transmission was replaced at 69k miles. 3-4-5 gears are AWFUL for me as well as P to R or D. I’ve tried resetting the adaptive learning tables and that didn’t do much. I’ve seen people say turning it off completely can help. Going to try this today & if it doesn’t fix the issues in the shop we go.

Good luck. Any extended warranty on the truck?

after the dealership "fixes it" get an oz omega tune best money I spent on my 2020 uses every gear up and down.......

I just cleared mine but didn’t do the remove adaptive learning. I’m worried I’ll do damage to it if I completely turn it off. Just by clearing it though my truck shifts so much better! Thanks

I want to do this to my 2018 xlt, but I really want the truth. How is your truck driving after u did this? Are u still driving your truck without the adaptive learning, and is it driving alone better, in other words IS IT WORTH DOING??????

@SmackeysGarage 15 күн бұрын

For me, it has made the truck better. I haven't had a hard shift since I made this change. I don't know if there is any impact to the longevity of the transmission with this change.

If adaptative tables are removed, don’t the ECM turns it on again, later ?. Pls reply. BR

@SmackeysGarage 13 күн бұрын

There are two options. 1) Disabling adaptive learning which to my understanding stops it completely 2) Clear adaptive tables which clears the truck to relearn. I would start with clearing the adaptive tables and reading up on how they work

@thomascrumley5070 13 күн бұрын

Will this void warranty?

@SmackeysGarage 13 күн бұрын

Probably. I’d start by just clearing the tables

@oldjarhead386 4 ай бұрын

Adaptive is trying to compensate for transmission control pressure as the transmission wears.

@oldjarhead386 2 ай бұрын

@ I’ve also noticed today that temps dropping hard caused a few minor harder shifts. Makes sense as the colder fluid will be a bit thicker thus elevating the control pressure some. I’m just a few miles it stopped doing it and was normal again. This leads me to wonder if clearing adaptive is a good idea or not. If it’s actually working I’d just leave it alone. I just read your other post below. I’ve looked and never noticed a 3-5 shift.
