After work intended to address a transmission that hunts between gears on a hill, repeat the original conditions in a safe place and check whether the symptom returns. Note road grade, speed, load, and whether cruise control changes the pattern. Record the result before clearing codes or resetting adaptations.

Follow the maker’s procedure for drive cycles and readiness monitors. Check whether the behavior matches the owner’s manual and whether a warning is present. If the issue remains, return to the evidence instead of swapping another part.

Quick educational note
