Default Just got mine done yesterday...

Stage 1+ and put the injectors in myself. I'll try and replicate as soon as I get through break-in (the car's only been a week on the road, and I have about 1000 more km's to put on before I can crank it and let you know if I get that 4th/5th gear thing). Let me know how things go on your end. I should be in a position to tell you more in about a month...btw, when I spoke to Jeremy, he said that the shifting problem seemed to be isolated to your car, and he hasn't heard of the same problem from anyone else. I hope they get it fixed for you, though. Do you think it might be a bad transmission chip?

Default has your s4 always done this or did it start doing it after it was APR chipped....

does that not bother you.... or is it something you are working on right now.

Default APR rep told me this happens to all 2003 tips

An APR rep told me that there is a slight flaw in the chip for 2003 tips because they didn't test it enough. He said that the chip should be cured in a few months.

Default to be quite honest... i don't think they know what works on tips and what doesn't....

jeremy told me that all of the cars they have to test with are all manual trannys... so how would they know if the software they release works on tips or not.. or what the problems people might run into..
