Default A4 2-3 shift going redline - help!

can anyone post conservative shift points for an A4 with 3.73's? whenever I get on it, it feels like I will never shift into 3rd, I end up backing off the throttle,it sounds like it's going to

I've done a search, unable to find what I'm looking for - please help! THANKS!

I see on your post you have Predator. Can't you just adjust your shift RPM for that shift?

That GMAF is messing your shifts up.

Use Predator to minimize (-25%) your 2-3 shift time
if you haven't. The 2-3 is pretty lazy, stock, and
even if you have a sensible-appearing MPH it may
just take too long.

I think with 3.73s you ought to try something like
71MPH for a shiftpoint (2-3 up, WOT) though a
converter of higher than 3000 stall speed might
need you to shave off a mile or two.

thanks Jimmyblue lemme try that.


as for the GMAF, pulled that thing out and returned it a few weeks ago (need to adjust my sig with an !) and sold the replacement GMS sent me on ebay - kept giving me SES codes (too lean) no matter what.

Yep mine it out right now after the cam install it was a royal pain to tune so we yanked it. When I get my own editing software I may take another crack at it as the car seems to run better with it installed and tuned.
