The car will not downshift at that speed. Have it tuned or change your gears and install a TC...... That will help solve your problem, but it will create another one........ TIRES....

theres an easy fix, but it could potentially hurt your tranny.
My brother races my old 3.23 A4 with the gear selector in 1st at 30mph, and it pulls way harder than 30mph in second, even harder than 25mph in D. However, the car has had tranny problems since I sold it to him, but he just can't stop doing it. The car is much faster like that.
