Good to hear, glad I could help. :cool:
Does everyone wish that the A6 was as easy to tune as the A4 lol
Even though I dont have half of those tables on mine (99z), this is still a great write up, and helped me with a few questions I had. Good job man and thanks!
Thanks CoolAid for a great write up. I have a dumb question. Should i copy the changes that were made to the shift point mph and tcc lock up mph to the hot, cruise, and performance sections. I made the changes in the normal section, but do you just leave those other named sections alone??
I copy them to performance usually for shits and giggles even though my car doesnt have a "performance mode". Some cars do though like Grand Ams or what not. Not really sure.
Leave the Hot tables alone as they provide protection. You don't want your car getting all high performance-y anyway when the high temperature thresholds have been hit.

Thanks. Glad its helping people out. This is probably enough feedback for this to be added to the auto trans "how to" sticky so people don't have to dig for it. Lets hope it makes it there :cool:
Great guide, thank you!
Although I must ask - HPTuners says all torque reductions are in %, but you say they are in lb*ft??
Thanks for your time.
I just used some of the tips you show here.
Coolaid can you look at these 2 tune files and tell me what is wong with the one labled new_vetune_reefcoupe. for some reason it wants to start in 2nd gear and doesn't have a first gear. if you manually shift it to first it act like it locks up or something. I can load the second tune and it shift fine and acts great. the tune that the trans works good on is labled reefbluecoupeconversion. I have tried swapping back and forth on the tunes and definetly seems it has to be something to do with the tune.
The only difference I see is in trans diagnostics table under TCC clear min slip rpm. The tune that works is set to -20 the other is set to 0. i tried changeing it to -20 but it wouldn't let me it just keeps going back to 0. Not sure if that has anything to do with the problem or not. I also have the file that doesn't work set up to Ve tune the car so the mass air is disabled.
Curious why this has not been put in threads of note.
Great Write Up.
I paid $65 ($99 today!) to www.TheTuningSchool.com for their step by step explanation instructions with Hp Tuners screen shots for the A6 trans. Well worth it!
Took a lot of time and went through this thread and explanations for a while. Can't say anything other than Great Documentation and Screen Shot Explanations! Very informative. Best thread I've read through to date!

I had to hunt around a for a few things, maybe because I have a later version of software - 2.23.446 or different transmission(?) but was able to work through a lot of things and figure them out. Do have a few questions maybe someone can help me with.
1) My Max Pressure for the "Shift Pressure Other" seems really high - is this normal for my transmission(pic attached)?
2) One of my issues is the normal / WOT Manual shift "pause" going between gears - take a big breath then it changes - anyone have recommendations on how short the "Desired Shift Time Base Upshift - Normal" should be - and when do the "Special" parameters get used (there the same so just don't get that!)
There appear to be a whole LOT MORE parameters on my transmission. Anyone got some pointers where I'll see / feel some changes without toasting the transmission?
:cool:
Good work CoolAid.
Sorry if I missed it, but looking to see what the concensus is on "desired shift time" when using a shift kit? Without a shift kit I normally multiply by 0.5.
Thanks in advance
So i copied everything lol! I am building a thridgen lsx turbo. The trans has been completely gone through and everything i could put in to make it last has been put in. Im hoping these numbers give me a pretty solid base line tune. Thanks for taking the time to put this together. It helped me a lot. Friday should should be the first day i get to drive the car around so im pretty stoked. Im not sure how long the trans is going to hold 650-700rwhp though. Any advice on breaking it in nice and easy so it lasts???
My transmission is wanting to down shift every time i roll into the throttle rather it be 2nd or 3rd. Whats the best way to fix this? Just adjusting my tps vs mph vs gear?
Good write up
perfect write up great job
Great write up! I know its an older thread, but still relevant! Now, does anyone have a write up like this for calibrating the MAF on an LS2 after mods, ie heads, cam, LT headers??
Great Write up! My Pattern B WOT Shift Speed is maxed 318. What would we change that to? Do we make changes to pattern Y, Z?
