i was noticing my stupid tiptronic shifting weird today. its shifting hard. sometimes late (since it usually shifts around 3000-3200) like it didnt want to upshift. maybe im low on tranny fluid. or maybe i need that chip.... ...

 

what mod you have to your car???

 

toyolla i thougth my tranny was f8cked too - it shifts "sticky" i push up on tip and it wont go up sometimes ... especially from 1st to 2nd or 2nd to 3rd

anyway - the dealer said nothing's wrong

 

sometimes when i shift mines from first to second and hit the gas too hard it goes back to first gear.....

 

what you are talking about is you are hitting the kickdown switch. When you completely floor it in a 2nd-5th, it automaticaly drops a gear, you can feel it in your foot, its a button that the gas pedal hits when fully depressed. You can sort of feel the pedal stop when you make contact with the button (which is actually WOT) and when you press it down further, you can feel it hitting the button, and all that does is reduce you by 1 gear. You can disable the kickdown feature for when you are in tip mode with vag com.. I did it cuz it got sort of annoying... If i want to downshift in tip mode, ill do it myself ya know?

 

yeah mine just won't really let me shift up sometimes cuz its "sticky"

 

well quit whackin it in da ride man!

 

onepoint8tee, thanks i'll ask the guys if they could do that for me when i go get chiped, you know what code it is exactly...just in case they dont know what i'm talking about.

 

Hang on let me find out............
What year are you? Quattro??

 

I had tip on my passat and I blew the tranny, had the APR chip with three programs, borla cat back, custom downpipe/test pipe, evo DV, but the car was just FWD thats why I switched the tranny was trash and all the car did was burn out, was imposible to drive in the rain, though i must say i liked the intieror in the vw alot more then my audi but my audi is much faster with the ko4, i also had the tip chip, mad a big difference but there is a threshhold for those tranny's cant take as much power as the manual can
