I suppose the transmission learned adaptive values are stored in flash memory (like a usb memory stick) so disconnecting the battery won't do it. Could be wrong.

It's a bit like owning a bicycle in the stone age, parts are expensive and no-one knows. But up there in the sky somewhere is an authorised agent.(got that off my chest)

As for learning driving habits I'm absolutely sure it's a myth. What the TCM learns is only to do with the mechanical working of the machine. Adjustments are made to compensate for clutch wear, hydraulic pressure etc etc.
So you can thrash it as much as you like, the TCM is not listening.
