rev limiter

[1fastws6]

need help!!!!!!i've got a problem with my a4 trans hitting the rev from 1st to
2nd and then from 2nd to 3rd could it be tuning or trans? it even does it when
i manuel shift...

[Zboner]

do you have any mods done to the car?? mines does the same right now, but is untuned and has a cam, it is a converter problem if anything at all.

[1fastws6]

yea i've got h/c package,exhaust system,9in rear end,tci converter that's been rebuilt twice because they told me it was the converter but i still have my doubts and it's tuned hp tuner. thanks for responding.

[foff667]

it can probably be fixed with BETTER tuning....probably.

[onyx_rock]

you need to adjust shift points after installing aftermarket convertors.

yeah when i installed my tci 3500 on my semi stock 98 it would smack the rev limiter pretty hard on the 2-3 shift

thats what mine is doing right now, with the stock converter, its a bitch

[foff667]

problem with that is the stock rev limiter is at 6200...stock shift point is like 6100 if i remember correctly so if you add a little power that makes the car rev slightly faster the computer sometimes wont have enough time to react...combine that with a tranny thats 8 years old and your gonna hit the limiter.

my tranny is like 5 months old, and the engine is like 3 weeks old, so it has to be a tunning problem as far as i can see.

[foff667]

stock tuning? What cam?

[Zboner]

yes stock tunning as of now because we were letting it go for the break in period without the proper tune, and the cam is in the sig.

I can't tell you what you should do, but here's what I did for my A4 in HPT:

--- FUEL ---
Cutoff: 6600
Resume: 6599

-- TRANS --
1->2 Shift: 6200
2->3 Shift: 6200
3->4 Shift: 6200


-somebody

[Zboner]

i think the guy who is d tunning mine has HPT, but what are your mods,

[1fastws6]

thanks for your help,my mods:slp long tubes/slp h/c package but changed the cam to a custom grind 598/598 238/242,ported t/b,t/b bypass,3.50's,9in,
lower arms,panhard bar,3400 tci and a totally rebuilt tranny.
when i started having this problem they told me it was the converter which we replaced still had the problem then they said it was the trans sent it to shop for recheck no problem found and here i am still banging the limiter.

[Zboner]

yea it has got to be tunning problem then, sorry to hear that man.

[foff667]

are you still running a 4l60e? If so your not supposed to manually shift it...if you can post your bin file so we can see your shift points...its pretty easy to tell if its the tuning or not, in most cases.

[Zboner]

well in my case it is tunning nothing has been touched on my car tunning wise, so i know that is the problem right now.

[1fastws6]

yea it's 4l60e but i don't manuel shift.
don't have bin file but i'll try to get it.
thanks guys
