A4 shift point different than programmed?

I use LT1-Edit on my 95Z A4 w/ Trans-Go shift kit. The stock WOT shift point for 1-2 is 36mph. When I look at my logs it shows the trans going into 2nd gear at 41mph. Does anyone else notice this? Is this just the time it takes the trans to actually make the shift?

Thanks

In some cases you have to "satisfy" the mph and rpm threshold before a shift will occur. Try dropping the rpm for the 1-2 shift also.

You are right. I just looked back at my logs in more detail and did notice that it waits for the 5344rpm mark, as shown in LT1-Edit, before it shifts.

Thanks again.

Yep, both the speed and the RPM thresholds have to be met before the transmission will begin to shift, and of course you'll exceed both of those parameters by the time the shift actually occurs.
