Question slow shifts into 3rd

hey guys, ive encountered a problem when im powershifting my A4. when i shift from 1-2 its fine and from 3-4 its fine too but when going from 2-3 it doesnt seem to want to shift for a few seconds or till i let off the gas. i auctually hit the rev limiter one time waiting for it to shift. does anyone have any ideas on what could be goin on?

Sounds like your 3-4 clutch pack might be slipping. Or there is something going on with the tune in your vehicle for the 2-3 shift timing. Good luck. Vince

my Auto instructor taugh me that the 2-3 shift in a 4L60E is hardest shift to make because the trans has to perform mutiple task to actually make the 2-3 shift.

I fixed mine by putting in a transgo 4L60E-HD-B kit, tightening up the 3-4 clutch clearance, and tuning.
The clutch clearance is a pretty big job for a regular person, I actually did the shift kit and tuning first and it made a big difference in the 2-3 shift.
