Make sure you hit the nitrous when you redline it!

Dont forget to have a buddy drain your oil about 3 minutes into the red line rev to let the piston rings breath better.

Its a little known fact about Audi's that if you acutally speak outoud "First Please" it will automatically shift into first without moving your shifter.


On a more serious note,you'll get a feel for it after a while.I don't like the "pushing hard" approach; hold it there for a second, and if your going slow enoughit will slip in.
And its not that I downshift into 1st when passing poeple on the highway, but when your rolling up on a red light that's going to turn soon, I often want to be in first to start from a very slow roll or dead stop.

After your buddy drains your oil during redline rev, fill it back up with water so it can cool down faster.

ORIGINAL: A4Rollin




if all fails just rev your motor up to redline for about 5 minutes, then you should be good!
