PDK Relearn
- A step-by-step guide on how to perform this procedure with the Accessport can be found here: How To: Perform PDK Clutch Re-Learn
- If the COBB High Torque Aggressive map is flashed to the TCU a PDK Relearn must be completed when changing maps back to COBB Sport, COBB Aggressive, Simulated Stock, or when uninstalling. Failure to do so may result in less than desirable shifting and/or TCU errors.
- Over time clutches can wear and the thickness can decrease. Performing a PDK relearn will help the PDK verify clutch thickness and position. This is particularly useful after a clutch replacement or in cars with higher mileage.

Simulated Stock
- Stock calibration. For use when stock like behavior is desired. Does not uninstall Accessport.
Closing Warnings and Precautions:
- Use of inappropriate calibration/modification combinations may promote transmission damage.
- If the COBB High Torque map is flashed to the TCU a A PDK relearn may be required when switching from the High Torque map to other COBB maps or uninstalling. PDK Relearn instructions are located above.
- Some higher mileage PDK cars may have driveability problems that may be exacerbated by flashing the PDK, most notably a shudder when starting from a stop at low throttle in 1st gear or reverse. In most cases a simple PDK fluid service is all that is needed to remedy the issue, however the issue may be more indicative of a failing valve body. A PDK Relearn will unfortunately not fix this issue. We suggest doing a PDK fluid service before installing the PDK flash if you are still running original fluid regardless of milage.
Revision Notes:
V202 - Introduced COBB Sequential Style and COBB OEM+ maps which add decreased shift time, reverse shift stalk, idle creep disable, dual paddle neutral, and kickdown removal along with other v201 features. Decreased shift time in COBB Aggressive maps.
