hey guys, my a4 trans has a hard time shifting out of 2nd when i get on it, it just sits on red line(not rev limiter) pretty much until i let off the gas and it will finally shift. could this be cause of the tune? if not, then what.

also when i am driving around 45-50mph it it starts surging like the T/C is constantly locking and unlocking until the rpms get higher then it will say put. what could this really be.

 

Sounds like its time for a rebuild. I've heard other guys with the same problem, the trans just can't change gears under a load due to worn out components. If it shifts properly under normal throttle, then it shouldn't have anything to do with tuning, unless its got a bad tune for some reason.

 

well, i thats the thing, i just got it back from the shop. so that shouldn't be it.

 

Hmmm...interesting. Well in that case, I'd say it definitely has something to do with the governor/PCM tuning, unless something inside the trans is defective or built wrong.

Sorry I can't be of more help.

 

yea, i would take it back to the guy that built it but i don't feel like causeing a big scene cause he had the dern thing for 7 weeks. sooo, even if the tranny is the problem, i'm just gonna say screw it and get a th350 and get it over with.

 

WoW 7 weeks to build a 4l60e. It sounds like he was having some problems. Are you getting any codes?

 

and for anyone wanting to know, i DID break it in right

 

yea i know, tell me about it. um, my buddy hooked it up to hptuners and checked everything on it and everything was good and was only thrown an A/C code cause i don't have it. unless something has poped up here lately. but i don't have a CEL on or anything.
