Can the TCU learning be reset this way?

[HPsauce]

I've just seen a thread on another forum that describes a procedure for a C5 RS6 that supposedly resets what the TCU has learnt and has (for the poster) improved driveability/smoothness.

Given the D2 has the same 5HP24A gearbox is this likely to be relevant to us?

This is what was posted:

I've tried the procedure to reset the tcu or throttle stuff or what ever it does, and its working indeed.
Gear changes are more smooth now.

The procedure is as follows (I've seen 2 variants):

1. Turn the ignition key to the on (not start) position.
2. Press the gas pedal to the floor and hold for 20 or more seconds.
3. Turn the key to the "off" position (don't remove the key), then release the gas pedal. Remove key.

Or

1. press the accelerator to the floor so it presses down the kickdown and keep it down
2. key in the ignition, turn the ignition to stage 2 ( all the dash lights up )
3. DONT START IT ... just leave it there whilst you have the pedal to the floor
4. wait a while ( 30seconds or longer I think )
5. ignition off, key out, pedal up.

Seems to reset what the box has learned over the years.....?
Reset the adaptive gearbox.....?

Or what ever it does, but for me it was noticeable.....
