Transmission repair options

[MTN GTO]

Every time I see posts about transmission problems, I cringe. Sorry these problems keep haunting you guys, but I'm glad I made the right choice and went with a 5 speed stick, much to my wife's displeasure.

Finally got the replacement trans in Friday/Saturday, after having to loosen it all off again and install the TC properly p:.

Now I'm just driving it around gently to build some confidence in my work, but I have noticed that the down shift from 2 to 1 is very hard. I've been reading the service manual and there is a learn procedure, is there anyway to cause quick learn without the dealers diagnostic tools. I also noted that there was a learn procedure for each of the shift sequences but this is related only to the RFE not the RLE.

Also when setting the hot fluid level how long does one need to drive for before the fluid is considered at normal operating temp?

Thanks

It's a bit of a drive, but I have a DRBIII. I can do the quick learn, but I can't come to you (the RFE in my Ram just ate it).

Not terribly far for me, then (I'm in Annapolis)
