Rapid deceleration with the A4
Has anyone felt a rapid deceleration when letting off the gas on the highway while u were going over 50 mph? I have a 99 Z28 w/ a A4 transmission . It feels like a manual transmission downshifting when I let off the gas at highway speeds. Thanks

Converter lockup and unlock are MPH-for-TPS tables
and it's quite possible that you are just locking the
TC at higher MPH, lower TPS (like closed, and the
table does not unlock at 0). But it could, if you
wanted.
