I loved the way my Ex drove when it was new. It was peppy and the transmission felt like it shifted at just the right time. But, after a short while, it got sluggish. It seems loath to downshift when needed and seemed to hesitate when taking off. I assume it had learned from my usual, little old lady, driving style.
When duck season came in and I switched from the key with the built-in fob to a chipped key without a fob the transmission seems to work much better. This was, my opinion, because I drive on the highway a lot more when duck hunting and usually pull a small aluminum boat but don't put it in tow mode.
Anyway, are there thoughts on whether the performance mentioned in the first paragraph was due to the transmission 'learning'. If so, I can turn that feature off and just make it act like it did out of the box?
