Skyactiv Drive internal walkthrough

I made a a follow up to my original Skyactiv reset video to explain what the car is physically doing during the operation. Mazda Skyactiv AT initial learning mode. What is the car actually doing? #skyactiv

I put together a video explaining some real world examples of Torque Converter Clutch(TCC) operation in the transmission to answer some of the more common questions I have received surrounding what is happening under a few conditions.

Thanks for posting these. Your videos always show the importance of fluid changes to an intricate assembly.

I did a deeper dive into Neutral Idle Control or the cause of the "bump" and RPM bounce you can feel at idle.

This is another question I get asked a lot, why do you hold the brake down to get a good launch with an automatic and does it hurt it?

Just realized you're the same guy that's done the skyactiv adapt reset video. That was very helpful. Thanks!
