Default Do Tiptronics occasionally have gear hunt issues?
This is my first Tip so I was just wondering if this what I experienced a few times after I chipped my new S-line (a pause then jerk into gear).

Default Yep.
Take ANY tiptronic A6 and floor it while turning, and you'll send the transmission into cardiac arrest.

I drive around it. As in, don't floor it on turns.

Well sure, but if it wants to change gears on the turn......

If you chip your motor the tranny will hunt between gears while cruising.

Putting in a tranny chip will take care of that.

Default Re: Yep.
Isn't that by design ?

I've heard that the Tiptronic has g-sensors to prevent gearshifting during turns.
