Predator and A4 shift settings
How many predator owner's are running max shift pressure and min shift duration 24/7 on their daily drivers? There have been a few posts saying that it will shorten the life of your A4. What's everyone's 2cents??TIA

Re: Predator and A4 shift settings
I am running this setting on my truck and have been doing so for a while. Personally I dont think this will shorten the transmissions life BUT 24/7 aggressive driving/racing might.
Your stall converter would be more likely to kill your tranny.

im using hyper tech but with that im using 75% increase in allowed firmness and i dont see how a quicker shift could hurt anyhitng i mean less slippage means less heat right?

I have my shift times set to -25 and the pressure set to +2%. I don't think cranking the pressure up is very good for the tranny.
