2 -> 1 shift... Ok, was at autocross a few weeks ago and found my A4 with 2.73 can get to like 50 mph without redlining, but my question is:
when i get to ~40 and bump it into 2, then as soon as it shifts into 2nd slip it back into 1, will it downshift, or is there a specific MPH you have to reach in order to get a downshift?
Rode in some guy's 5.0 stang and it would not downshift from 2 to 1 until he got down to 29 mph.
May seem like a stupid question, but I'm new at this. Logically, I think the computer would not let the car downshift even if you put it down to 1 when you are going 70 for example :p

Thats correct the downshift in the tranny stock will not happen till a specified rpm , However you can install the transgo hd2 kit and it will allow a downshift to first at any speed ,And I used to have and old impala with a 273 so i can understand why you would want to be able to do that.
