He just got the car and whenever it shifts it hits the rev limiter a few times first and then shifts. What's the problem, he reset his pcm and it still does it, anyone have any ideas.

 

Yeah I don't know what it is but the car has 19,000 miles on it. I don't know if I reset my PCM right, and I think it is not my Trans because this only happens when I give it full throttle. I don't know what it is so if anyone can help me or let me know

 

Sounds to me like the tranny is slipping and needs a rebuild, anyone else care to chime in?

 

seen this a couple times typical auto tranny that is dead! time for a new one if he just bought it he should bring it back.

 

It shifts fine when I give it full thorttel and then I let up and then back down on the gas when it is about to shift. It shifts fine after that through 1st, 2nd, 3rd

 

Thats not how I shift my A4, I just put it to the floor and let it do the shifting. Face it, your tranny is shot and you are just compensating for it.

 

I reset the PCM and I think it is fine now I drove around for like 45mins. and it was shifting fine. The trans is not slipping

 

no offense man but your pcm will never relearn it's shift points it is always the same it is the tranny that does the shifting.
