Delayed Shifting into 3rd My A4 is stock except for a tranny cooler, Trans-Go Shift kit, and SSF 3500 stall. Lately it has been delaying the shift from 2-3. Anyone else had this problem? It only happens under wide open throttle.
2001/2002 PCMs don't like 3500+ converters. You must have trouble codes for the shift-b solenoid disabled or else it will cause numerous problems with shifting. It doesn't happen right away, always take a while to show up.

Thanks for the input. The computer was tuned by TSP for the larger stall. I got one full season out of it with no problems. I guess it is time for a rebuild.

Is that really a known fact?

born2lose did you use your predator to take off torque management. If so how'd ya do it. I've got a predator and would like to take torque management out if I could.
