A4 Shift points I am getting ready to put in a 3:42 rear end and a PT-2400 converter on my 99 C5 with the A4 tranny. Anyone have some shift points, regular driving and WOT, that I can start with using LS1-Edit? Also, any differences for the Drags?
Re: A4 Shift points I have experienced that my shift points at the track need to be 1 - 2 mph lower than what works on the street. I have ET Streets and a big converter.
Before you drop all that cash, go with a higher stall converter. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: A4 Shift points I use my car every day as a daily driver and probably 99 percent of my driving is in town. I have tried another car with the 3500 stall speed, and it feels like the throttle pedal is made out of mash potatoes. They say ONLY one half to one inch more push is required; that seems like an awful lot to me. I got my car to drive daily.

Re: A4 Shift points I don't know what the stock Vette gears are but I was going to say bigger gears and a bigger stall. My car is a daily driver also,I have 3:73 gears and a Vig 3200 stall in my T/A and it's perfectly streetable and when I can keep my foot out of it I get 14.45 MPG.

Re: A4 Shift points What I'm saying is that your gas mileage will be the same either way. You'll get used to the looseness quickly. At least get a Yank 3000. That kills the PT2400. It is half as loose...
Re: A4 Shift points Yank 3000/2.0 STR + 3.73 gears is so streetable it feels like stock, until I mash the gas.

The dealer can't tell I have drivetrain mods when they drive it at the lot. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
Happy driving,
