Tiptronic S Question

[jwalz]

When I am manually shifting my 96 Tiptronic S, while in 2nd gear somewhere between 2200-2600 RPMs there seems like another shift takes place. It's almost as if there is a lower 2nd gear and a higher 2nd gear. Any ideas why it is doing this? Is this normal?

Do you notice this in auto mode?

It's hard to tell if it is occurring in auto mode...the shift range between 2nd and 3rd seems pretty short; around 2100 rpms from 2nd to 3rd and 2100 from 3rd to 4th...

I just read another forum that suggested resetting the DME? Warming up the engine, disconnecting the negative terminal, waiting 20 minutes, hooking back up the battery, and driving it like I just stole the car...the idea is that this will reset the shifting pattern...thoughts?

I would first have the codes read out and then cleared as I have seen some cases where simply clearing any history codes corrects drivability issues as the transmission is adaptive to driving styles.

Okay, I'll try that...tks...
