Question Tranny changes after battery disconnect

Twice now I have disconnected the battery for several hours and noticed some changes in how the tranny acts. Usually when I back off the gass at 60 mph my truck coasts freely. The first couple hours after reconnecting the battery, it feels like my tranny is dropping out of OD when I let off the case and I feel a fair amount of engine breaking. After a couple hours, everything is back to "normal" and the truck will coast freely again. This has happened twice now and both times it is after I had had the battery disconnected. I suspect that this is part of the "relearning"process and is not an issue, but I wanted to make sure. Should I be more concerned about this than I am?

Don't be concerned. Your assumptions are correct. It sounds perfectly normal.

I had the same thing happen to me. It freaked me out at first. I was doing about 65 and let off the throttle. Then the tranny down shifted hard. And it was right after the battery was disconnected.
