when rolling along pretty slow (~10mph) and then hit the gas... slight pause while the transmission figures out what to do and then THA-WUMP. It's annoying at the least. At worst, I'm worried that it will cause some damage.

Any input?

Thanks.

i've had that happen to me a couple of times like 2 years ago but then it somehow went away

and then speed up to exit a turn. The Tiptonic pauses and then down-shift with a loud thump. The dealer checked the Tiptronic and it said that is normal. The only way to avoid this is to drive in manual mode and shift to 2nd gear as I enter a turn. After exiting a turn, I shift to 3rd or auto mode. Audi Titronic is not as responsive and smooth as Steptronic on my BMW.

since I used to own a 540i earlier this yr along w/ my old 2.7T at the same time. But one thing I <b>AM</b> sure of...I prefer Audi's direction of shifting vs. BMW.

Audi: + = up / - = down in TIP mode.

BMW: complete opposite and not easy to get used to at all.

(Side note - MB tip mode is sideways, kinda wierd, but easy enough to learn.)

I haven't owned the BMW long, but I've driven Audis in TIP mode for over 5 yrs. I don't see an advantage in smoothness in shifting gears between the two. Just inconvenience for BMW as I mentioned above.

I did not experience this problem b4 AUDI call me for manuf. recall and they reflash and reprogramm my A4 AVANT 2002 3.0l and then I notice same problem as you are.
