    post tune & scanner log.
    It doesn't have to be perfect, it just needs to be done in two weeks...

    I noticed this along time ago,if youtry to change the values in the performance tab,the changes do not apply!They remain the same as stock for some reason.

    Can you please post your stock tune so I can view the changes that have been made, nothing in the file looks off so maybe its something deeper in the code or something I'm not seeing.

    Will this also fix the problem with the A6 transmission where it only shifts based on MPH and not both that and RPM like it's supposed to?

    If it doesn't fix that yet, any update on when it will?

    Thanks,
    Christopher

    The A6 uses a completely different controller so this update does not affect the A6 in any way.

    With that said we are still looking into what you are referring to.

    Does that mean you're not sure what I'm talking about or that you do know what I'm talking about but just haven't found what's causing the problem in the first place?

    On this shift problem, do you have TM turned off/reduced?

    Was this question directed at me or the OP? If it was for me, the same thing happens regardless of whether TM is on or off.

    Yes the A6 mph/rpm shift "problem". Our understanding is that the mph table is used first, and then if VSS fails, the rpm table. Not confirmed.

    We also have noticed that with TM off, shifts can get held up at WOT because the torque is too high.

    My car will shift just fine at WOT with TM off, just not based on the RPM settings.
