I had my trany reprogramed for crisper shifts. Also to eliminate slow roll turning up hill slip that the a4 is sometimes known for. Pros on mine where harder engagement when getting on it. Cons, seems the ASR is less effective and it spins anyway. Hope than helps. Good luck.

if you're still on the stock valvetrain I wouldn't recommend it but if you have aftermarket stuff in there go ahead and bump them up some.

I recently added a few mods. Small cam upgrade, typhoon intake, headers . The transmission was just upgraded to handle some serious horses. How high did you change the shift points?

Was making me crazy too. I only had 40,000 on the ticker when I noticed it. Peed me off to no end cause the car was still relatively new. But after explaining this condition to the tech who worked on it, he called me and explained it was a common thing and a simple reprog would make it shift a little more aggressively. Never had it come back either.

Hey KahanaReef. The main reason I even worried about it was I did'nt know if when it was catching if it was begining to hurt my trany. I did'nt want it to become permanent.
I baby the heck out of her and would lift as soon as I felt that spot in between gears. That feeling is what a dead automatic feels like when it's in gear but wont fully engage. If that makes any sense to ya. Just drove me up the wall when I drove it. Haveing it checked and programed gave some peace of mind back too.

by the time it was time to rebuild that tranny... it was alllll over the place! Quite the adventure just getting to work and back
Oh, and don't worry about finding out how much it would cost. Pretty sure it will be way higher out here I don't want to take it to the steelership. So, I need to find someone out here to take it to. But, thanks for the thought
