Default my A4 shifts the same way as an M6 < check out this thread I don't know what happened

I just bought a 2000 camaro from a friend..
Its an A4 which he rebuilt it 2 months ago.
It is an stock car,

the car drives nice at "D" and the shifting are perfect..
but the problem starts when I down shift it to "1" or "2" or the "3rd"

Let's suppose I downshifted the gearing at 1 and I accelerate at the "full throttle"...
Suddenly my RPM reached 5k and I would like to shift to 2nd, so when I move the shifter to position "2", The car simply don't shifts with me then hits 7k!
the only way that the car shifts is to "Release the throttle" then the car will shifts to the 2nd gear.
Exactly the way you would drive a Manual car but with out a clutch pedal!

The other problem , there is no Fuc*ing brakes when the car at 1-3 gearings at "manually shiftings"!! , the car slides when I push the brake pedal it's like the ABS not working!
I almost had an accident when I was at 120mph "3rd gear" and realised there's a traffic so I braked and the braked where not holding.. I had to side-brake to make the car stop -.-
so the tires are fuc*ed up now they have a FLAT surface "semi circle like"

but the brakes are all good when they're at D position! My car had really became drunk right now....

Please tell my what is happening!

I thought this idea died out a long time ago. Who the hell manually shifts an auto anymore?

next time drop it in 1st when your at 120mph, since you like to shift an auto.

I have a feeling that a 60 year old 4 foot asian lady has aquired an LS1 car, smoked a bunch of crack, drank a bottle of vodka, and created a LS1tech account.


The car simply don't shifts with me!!!! I had to side-brake!!!! LMAO

@^ Well said.

To the OP, the tranny works betteer in D anyway. I don't have the link to the thread, but I read recent post that explained the mechanism behind why it shifts quicker by leaving it in D instead of 3rd.

Simple solutions to the tranny issues young, drunk, asian chick! Many variable come into play, but first, as most have said, LET THE TRANNY DO THE SHIFTING!!! You are NOT faster than an electric solenoid!
Now onto the shifting issues. Are the tires the CORRECT size? Have the rear gears been changed? Has the car been tuned by someone NOT in the know?
Are you running 22" wheels on it? All these variable plus some more will not let the tranny shift at the programmed shift points.

I do hear KIA is having a sale on 5 speed Rios if you wanna bang gears?

Well you'r the first one who gave me a feedback I would love to answer believe me...

the story is It's a car I just bought and I just want to try how it look like to manually shift an auto trans... as I'm used to drive an M6
and all that happened in the first try.. that's all.

the tires are 17/40/275
the rear end had an 3.73 gearing but I changed them to the 3.2's
My friend "the past car owner" said that happened when he changed the tranny because he blew the one before. The same camaro had an ls3 429ci motor with the present tranny... I bought the car, and replaced the engine with an stock ls1. I thought the problem is from the old tune. I know it's crazy replacing a ls3 429 with an ls1, but I still have the engine as I have another project.

Well, I do drink enough that I could probably squirt alcohol so that is a possibility. But please if you're going to insult me at least use proper spelling



But to help answer your questions, all the things that you have changed on your car surely the tune is way off. You changed gears by a large amount. Go get the tune setup for the current engine and the current rear gears and see if that helps.
