jerseyglock Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 My 5EAT is having a issue with downshifting from 3rd to 2nd gear, its not a smooth shift but harsh. This only occurs with when I slow down or come to a stop. Any advises? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melayout Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 I'm having a similar hard-shift/shift-shock issue but it's the upshift from 2nd to 3rd and I'm working with my local SoA rep to resolve it. I keed I keeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jc51373 Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 This is insteresting...I haven't experienced any major downshift problems, but then again, I haven't downshifted at really high RPMS. I was told by a mechanic friend of mine that these tiptronic transmissions tend to rush the cyntrifocal (sp?) clutch a little which could be the reason for the jerking feeling you get. For me I wonder how good this is for the tranny over the long term. Only time will tell I guess. I only really use mine when I want to jump out from on on-ramp on a highway, or if someone challenges me. I like the control, but see no need to use it all the time.

jlce88 Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 Same here, from 3 to 2 and from 5 to 4. Upshifts are harsh in the same gearsets. It's been really cold here and that's when it started, but I really don't think the cold has anything to do with it, I warm the car up, and it doesn't matter if I've driven 1 mile or 30. I was thinking about disconnecting the battery to reset the adaptive progamming and see if that changes the shifts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devobuzz Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 And I wish my shifts were crisper. In sport mode it seems like only the rpms increase and it doesn't provide any quicker shifts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTsleeper Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 for myself that only happens in sport mode... basicaly its like a older muscle car with a shift kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakuun Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Have any of you treid resetting the ECU? Disconnect the + of your battery and let the car sit for about 15 minutes. Hook up the battery and use the shifter to make the car shift when and where you want. It shuold correct the issue.. Mine used to shift funky when I'd drive it. I reset the ECU and my shifting is much smoother now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerseyglock Posted December 10, 2005 Author Share Posted December 10, 2005 GTsleeper, my driving style is normal.... My issue is with coming to stop at traffic light(s) in normal mode. 5EAT downshift harsh from 3rd to 2nd (all other gears are fine. But, I won't feel it if do a panic stop. I only notice it when I'm in local driving or in a traffic jam. So what or how did you resolved your 5EAT issue ?? ^^^ the whole point is to reset the 'driving style' of the trans with u. yes ive done this, in the early stages of modding. the trans acted very weird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
