2x the Performance! 
transmision performance button?
transmision performance button? i have a 95 ta a4 that has this button does anyone know if it locks the converter i know it makes it shift harder and raises the shift points but not sure about the converter thanks.
IDK if this has any revalence but my truck (2001 V6 Tacoma 4X4) has the same sort of button. Raises my shift points to higher RPM's for max power when towing/racing etc etc. Hope this helps.
I have the button. It holds each shift longer with less throttle than normal. Also downshifts with less throttle. It doesn't seem to increase the shift points, but I saw in my tuning program it has it's own tables. So you could be shifting at 5,700 and press the button and shift at 6,000 if you tune it that way.

I have the button as well.I find it to be pretty useful when messing around from a roll.Not sure if it actually makes the car faster from a roll,but certainly feels like it.Makes the car down and upshift more firmly and generally feels more agile when at like a quarter throttle or more.
I also believe it helps with traction too.One time I hit it from a dig with it off,spun like usual.Then with the button on,didn't spin so bad,if at all.Maybe it locks the rear end too?

You got that too..
I can tell a huge difference when lead footing it around town with the button pushed in. It down shifts with less pedal and holds gears to a higher rpm before advancing...almost feels smoother too.
