Default wont do the 2-3 at wot in drive...

any ideas it will shift under part throttle fine and will do the 2-3 shift fine at wot in overdrive but in drive it bounces off the rev limiter until i bump the shifter in to overdrive then it shifts... i tried it three times and same thing each time. am i missing something? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

i bought the car a month ago and never tried wot in drive only overdrive so i dont know how long it has done it, i dont have any mods yet i have a shift kit and tc on order. i checked the fluid but will double check it. i also have no way of adjusting shift points yet. it is odd to me that it shifts fine in overdrive though.

Is it a brand new car or did you buy it used?

if it's an A4 check the fluid level. The rear seal on my tranny was leaking and i wasn't aware of it; went to the track one day and my car won't shift up to thrid either. So i replaced seal and topped off the fluid and now she runs fine.

Did it just start doing this? HAve you recently changed anything like converter, shift kit, N2O? Anything? What are your mods. Do you have a Hypertech or a way to adjust your shift points?

When I had 3.23 gears, I had no problems on the 2-3 shift until I switched to 3.73s. Then in D I hit the limiter, but in OD I'm fine.
Since then, I have tried HPP3/EW/MTI programming and it has not been solved.

I am having the exact same problem in my car. It bounces the rev limiter when it does a 2-3 shift @ WOT.. I am going to check my tranny fliud level..
