i bought a 2000 audi a6 2.7T and the tiptronic (manual) shifter automatically shifts to 2nd gear from 1st at 2000 rpm... the place i bought the car from said that model supposed to do it but the A6 2.8 i drove didnt do that.... Does any 2.7T owners out there know any info? Does all 2.7T cars shift automatically from first to second? Has anyone ever had that problem or know what causes it?

 

It's a feature (or so Audi believes). There is, however, a way to over-ride this. Read the URL (and associated links branching off it) I provide here to learn more: Recoding the Transmission Control Unit with a VAG-COM

FYI, I found this by scanning the "Transmission" section of Stoney's Links (see my sig for the link to that page).
