    Trans Quick Learn and AlphOBD

    Has anyone successfully performed a transmission quick learn using AlphaOBD on a 68RFE?

    I've read it appears the quick-learn functionality is there but have not been able to find a post stating the trans quick-learn procedure was successful.

    I did email the developer. He responded with,

    "I believe it's fully functional, I didn't have any complains for quite sometime already.

    Best regards,
    Alexey Chernikov
    AlfaOBD"

    I used it when I swapped out my valve body channel plate and accumulator pistons.

    Still drove it very lightly for the recommended 30 miles.

    Has been about I would say 3000 miles now of writing this and has no problems.

    To use quick learn on Alfa OBD which is under start go to function then engine.

    Diesel Cummins MY2013-17.

    Then go to Active Quicklearn RFE.

    (This will not work if you have a check engine light I think)

    Synergy Steering brace, Draglink, & Tie Rod, Thuren front leveling coils & Track bar, 5160 Bilstein Shocks, Banks CAI intake, LED everything, projector headlights, dieselfuelfilterkits, Steelcraft Line-x Door Sills, Elevation Front Bumper with Line-x Pro.

    I would just drive it easy I don't know anything about alpha but it will learn on its own just be careful with the amount of throttle that you put to it or it will act all erratic.

    With out knowing why he wants to quick learn his trans that’s some pretty bad advice.

    So CVI stands for clutch volume index.

    1 CVI is 1/64 of a cubic inch of fluid.

    The PCM measure how much fluid it needs to apply clutch packs based off how long it takes to complete a shift.

    So let’s say you replace your worn out overdrive clutch’s that before replacement had a cvi of 160 with a new drum with added clutch packs that now the cvi should be at 20-30 if it had been properly quick learned.

    But instead you “drove it easy” for 30-40 miles.

    There’s a good chance it’s gonna shift harsh or even overlap ud and od and when shifting cause it’s still thinking it needs 1/64th of 160 cubic inches of fluid to apply the clutch when it really only needs 1/64th of 30 cubic inches of fluid.

    I’ve seen some that od burnt up in less than 20 miles cause no relearn was done after a rebuild.

    Like I said without knowing why op wants to relearn its bad advice.

    If he's just changing the valve body on a other wise good trans with no added line pressure being added he’s probably safe but if he’s replacing unit with a rebuilt absolutely needs to re learn it before the drive learn.

    I wasn't meaning to come off as I was a wanna be Smart A$$ -

    I was truly curious - due to I was ignorant to this matter.

    Thanks again for your good in-depth post.

    I didn’t take it that way at all.

    There’s a lot of miss information about quick learns drive learns.

    To many people are regurgitating info they heard or read with out having any first hand experience.

    Transmissions aren’t very forgiving you either do it right or due it again until you get it right.

    Plan on going to Revmax valve body and bump line pressure.
