1-2 Shift My 2001 WS6 shifts 1-2 early @5100-5200 but shifts 2-3 @5600 is this normal? If not what could I do about it. It doesn't matter if I'm on my slicks or stock street tires, either. My car just has some bolt ons and I recently put a shift kit in it and it still does the same thing. I did a search and couldn't find a answer to my question.
TIA

No, that's not normal at all. My '00 shifts 1-2 and 2-3 at 6k on the stock tach. My old '00 shifted at 6k on the stock tach too and when we autotapped it autotap said it was shifting at about 5,900 to 5,950. I don't think the tachs are more then 100 RPM's off even at WOT based on that. I'd say you have a transmission issue, PCM issue, or your tach is way off. Do you have an aftermarket MAF?

I don't know what to tell ya. When I got my first LS1 I was actually worried because I thought the tranny was slipping because it shifted at 6k. I asked around and almost everyone I talked to with an A4 said theirs shifted at around 5,900 or 6k too. Autotap confirmed the tach isn't more then a 100 rpm or so off. Maybe try and clean your MAF? These trannies shift partially based off a calculation from the MAF and any crap that gets on the MAF wires can effect shifting.
