A$ 2-3 shift...bouncin off rev limiter....too much
A$ 2-3 shift...bouncin off rev limiter....too much Do I have too much HP for the stock A4??? I bounce off the 6700 rev limiter between my 2-3 shift....Was told that perhaps my power up ther (427 at 6200) may be too strong for the tranny clutches... I stay on it down the 1/4 and it does make it to third after a few rev bounces. Makes sence to me...anyone else???
The only other thing I can think of is simply tuning, but the 1-2 shift is great.
Anyone?

Re: A$ 2-3 shift...bouncin off rev limiter....too much The stock trans shift settings are slow and soft.
If you have more power you can run up the RPMs
faster and maybe "leave the trans behind". That
is, it may start thinking about shifting at 6000
but by the time it makes up its mind you're up past
6200, boink boink boink. Set your rev limiter for
reliability and your shift points for clean shifting.
A programmer or shift kit is probably going to help,
if you're putting out a lot of power a shift kit is
probably wise.

Re: A$ 2-3 shift...bouncin off rev limiter....too much The stock tranny really is only good for 450 ftlbs. If you're making more than that say goodbye sooner or later. My 2-4 band died in my tranny. Got a new TCS Stage III tranny now. 
Do the MPH shift point modifications stated above. That gave me a crap load of ET once I got that right. 
Couldn't go past 12.54. Once I programmed the PCM right, dropped 100lbs, added a FTRA and Hoosiers, I ran 12.009.
