Whenever it gets around 90+ here in chicago, i can chirp every gear, its weird. I baught the car used about 5 months ago and it appears to be stock. Its an 01 ss a4 with 19k miles. im not complaining or anything,lol but is there any explanation for this???? my tires have about 60% tread left.

check your air pressure they could be set very high which would explain the chriping of every gear if its good you just have a fast car and maybe some mods you didn't know about

poor performing tires???

i'm gonna go with too much air in your tires. when it gets 90*+ outside they expand so much you can't hook up. let some air out of them, i bet they're overfilled.

should be 30-35 psi in your rear tires.

ive got 44 psi all around, and they are goodyear eagle f1 gs's so they arn't bad tire at all, the next ones im gettin are bfg's though

Maybe you are sliding over into the "hot" shift
tables? If not some overtemp fault mode. Have
cooler? What do you see for fluid temps?

fluid temps are right in the middle, its redlining everygear, close 7k and the engine temp is right in the middle too

have you considered that it may have a shift kit in it

i didnt even think of that, could definatly be it

I had Remington XT120's on my SS when I got it ( I know I know) so one of the first things I did was snag some better tires, I went with 275-45-17 BFG G-Force KDWS's all the way around. I remember this cause I was braggin to my buddy that it would rip second pretty easy..( this was when it had the old tires) He calls BS so I grab him, tell him to strap in and go to prove it,...........NADA.
I make MULTIPLE attempts. He's laughing at me still. between his fat *** and the new tires ( the installer set them at 30 psi too, didnt find that out til later) nothing doin..
So I would say after reading your post, possibly tire pressure is high, or shift pressures have been altered, kit or a handheld. Just my 2 cents.

You can chirp 3rd into 4th? Is that at WOT?

That is a bit too much. I worked for Goodyear for several years, and I realy think that I know what I'm talking about here. As for the chirpinng in all gears, is that under normal driving or under hard exceleration? Your tune could be a little off. The tuner can change your line pressure demand for your shifts. If it is set too high, then you will have chirping, and that's actually hard on the tranny.

chirp 3rd into 4th?? lol...at 140mph? somehow that doesn't seem possible. My car would rarely hit 3rd gear scratch with the line pressure up all the way with the 3.23s...seemed hard enough especially since 3rd gear isn't until 85mph. with 4.10s it'll shift at 65mph into 3rd which makes 3rd gear scratches pretty common.

and i'd keep my tires right around 30...not 44 btw.

im not chirping them at 140 mph, when im in 3rd (city driving) and at about 30 mph about 3 quarters down, i get a chirp for about a second-2 seconds......as for WOT, from a stop then WOT (after warming up tires) tiny chirp(grips right away) --2nd-- large chirp----3rd---tiny chirp----4th-----tiny chirp...................if i dont do a burnout, they will just sit there and smoke, then the car spin sideways

ok..lol, i thought you meant while you're on it all the way. hmm, i would check your tranny fluid as a first guess and make sure it's not extremely low.

I work at goodyear and I see this stuff all the time. The 44 psi marked on the side of the tire is for MAX INFLATION a tire should not be inflated to that unless you want to wear the center of your tread out. I see this all the time the customers think that since it says 44 psi that is what there tires should be at. I say 32 psi is a good middle spot if you want to hook a little better you could try 28-30. Its the summer time tires get extremely hot when moving at driving speed and the hot air makes the tires expand = more pressure than when cold so deff let some air out of those tires

Hmmmm I'm in the same area as you and haven't chirped 3rd yet, 2nd I chirp all the time. Now I gotta go check my tire pressure.
