    C6 A6 1-2 Shift?

    Has anyone fixed the A6 1-2 shift problem, (hiting the rev limiter on the 1-2 shift in Auto mode) I know only a few are having this problem, my car did it once in a while when she was stock now it happens every time at the track.

    I was thinking lower the shift point or raise the rev limiter?

    I know there are things you can and cannot due to the A6 can this be done safely?

    I have HP tuners, but I am a total Novice, and all the tuners around here have limited to no exp with the A6.

    TIA

    Try lowering the WOT 1-2 shift mph and lower the WOT 2-1 shift mph by the same %.

    Thanks Russ a few questions

    Shift mph is set to 37 and shift rpm is set to 6400, the car shifts around 50mph

    37 mph is 4700rpm
    50 mph is 6400rpm

    Is my understanding that the car has to hit 37mph and 6400 b4 it wil shift?

    Why is the mph set so low?

    Will changing the mph to 35 work or will it still need to hit 6400rpm?

    Or is that 37 a percentage? if so of what?

    Sorry for all the dumb questions

    WOT Shift Speed vs Shift Normal
    -----------0-100
    1->2 Shift 37 37
    2->1 Shift 34 34

    The upshift is commanded several mph before the upshift occurs. So I would first lower the wot shift rpm. I get the same problem on
    the V6 cars were the wot 1-2 rpm is set at 5750 and the upshift occurs at ~5900, yet the 2-3 is set at 5750 and the shift occurs
    at 5750. Must be some bug in the editor.
