Short shifting

So im at the track right. I pull up to the line and the tree starts dropping. WEll i hit the gas in D of course and i am off beating the guy next to me next thing u know the car shifts at 4500 rpms. I thought that maybe i had let off the gas so i keep going 2nd gear and again it shifts at 4500 rpms. it did that all the way down the track. It drives normal it just happens when i race it. ANy ideas what it could be that is causing the car to shift so early? its an A4 if u didn't already guess that.

are you in overdrive or in drive?

Drive

ummm traction controll????
just guessin.

BTW welcome back. where the hell have you been

thanks, around. Oh and no its not the traction control cause i have it off.

If it HAPPENS* when your racing then its normal but if it just happen that once then id say its a RF or LF bad speed sensor. If you know how to use a diagnostics tool you can clear the codes when you race and should respond to whatever your gears are set at.

No it just started doing it. I have raced it plenty of times before and it would go all the way to redline. IT just recently wouldn't redline.

Just waiting on Formula to come in and save the day.

Is there a studder before it shift's or do it shift fast and firm at 4500 RPM ?and have you checked fluid level?. Also Sorry It took so long to see this.

BTW, I don't think its a fluid level problem I think its computer glitch cause your Tach is off or Tranny shift point where set incorrectly but its goo to start with easy fixes first.

Its a hard shift and everything. It still chirps the tires but it just won't redline. Its weird. When i first started raciing i shifted it manually a couple times. SO i knew that to red line second gear i had to move the shifter right at 4500rpm so that the car would shift at 6200. Well the other day i tried it and moved the shifter at 4500 and it shifted at 5000rpm. The time of delay has shortened. Its redlining first now but it still short shifting 2nd.
