I Made My Used BMW Drive Like New Again! (ISTA+ Transmission Reset Walkthrough) 

@@base1y hmmmmm I wonder why that would be. As far as I can tell it poses basically zero risk. Maybe someone else can inform me if there is a risk worth noting. Well hopefully after my video next week, combined with this one, you’ll be able to take care of that yourself for free.

@@JasonJoyrides I live right outside of DC so everywhere is pretty busy. They probably just don't want to go through the trouble of doing it 🫤

@@JasonJoyrides I was thinking the xhp flash might serve as somewhat of an adaptation reset though.

@@base1y dang. I highly highly recommend getting this done over xHP. xHP only changes values in the software to affect how the transmission acts. It does nothing in terms of adaptations. MHD also has adaptation reset options and none of them did a thing for me. I have read that ProTool does transmission adaptation resets, and I saw some people report that it helped them in their case. Could be worth looking into if you don’t want to go the ISTA+ route. ProTool does not perform the same reset that ISTA+ does though, since it does not make it go through the learn-in procedures that is audible in the video.

I appreciate the kind words! How has your 5 series treated you? Any big issues?

@@JasonJoyrides Its had all the maintenance done to it. 150k miles. No leaks no lights. Runs like a champ.

@@stanelder9995 love a big DIY guy! I recently did the full service as well as a bunch of other maintenance. I’m happy to report that I have caught up on all maintenance items on the car. I’m working on that ISTA video now and getting it out as soon as I can!

@@stanelder9995 glad it worked out for you Stan! Thanks so much for your support!!

@@itz_dxve after resetting adaptations and doing a full DCT service, the trans has been shifting better than ever. I am chasing down a trans cooling problem but it’s unrelated to what was shown in this video.

@@JasonJoyrides okay thanks. But it is not necessary to to full DCT Service before reseting all the stuff right?

@@itz_dxve no it is not necessary. Tons of people have done the reset on their 135i, 335is, or M3 without touching the physical components. In all of my research, I have found no evidence that it will hurt your transmission. In my case, it made my car drive like an absolute dream.

@@JasonJoyrides okay, because i got an M4 F82 and i always got the problem that when i am coming to a nearly stop, and the car is in 2nd gear, i get on the accelerator and the rpms going up and then after a little while i got a kick in the ass and the car goes on (i think this is because the clutches are not engaging properly or not fast enough). I hope the reset will fix this :/

@@itz_dxve yeah man I had a similar issue where the RPMs would climb to 1800 RPM before the clutch would engage. I think the clutches get bumped around overtime so they need to be recalibrated every now and then.

Truly I cannot speak on the ZF auto cars. I would definitely recommend searching the 1 addicts forum to see if anyone has done it on their ZF6HP. What are your current problems you're having with it?

@@JasonJoyrides just got the car. runs little rough and thought this would improve it also. i think i have an abs speed sensor problem I have to take care of also.

@@kristiemoore3974 hmm if I am honest I don't think your issue has anything to do with what I showed in this video. When you say running rough, do you mean that it is misfiring? Have you used an OBD reader to see if it is running lean/rich? Might be a good place to start just as a preliminary troubleshoot.
