Default A4 C6 Not shifting to third

Problem started yesterday.. Left the car resting for about 24 hours and just took it out for a test now and the problem still persists.. Tried older tunes with lower shift pressures but that didn't seem to solve the issue.. When it's time to shift to third, the trans just goes loose and rpms rise at a rate as if the trans was on neutral as opposed to throttle position.. I really don't know what to do.. Reverse is fine and my 1-2 shift is also fine.. I've got a 3500 vig and a G5X3 cam.. Tranny cooler and all.. 4L65e has a shift-kit.. Ideas anyone..!?

Sounds like it has lost the 3/4 clutches... does this occur at part throttle as well?

I would concur it does sound like a 3-4 clutch failure and not a tuning issue.

Pretty agressive cam and converter for a stock a4. Get it built and ride it hard.

Buy the parts and find someone local to do the work. FLT has been known to sell the parts and provide some guidance. Other sponsors may also be able to help.
