Default Deleyed Downshift Times - FIX - maybe

Hey Everyone,

Check this out! I have read that a lot of A8 owners are disappointed with kickdown response. Here is a link to a technical paper from VW-Audi.

Can someone re-program the TCM so the downshift time drops to approx. 1/2 second? The only thing I don't like about the A8's I've test driven has been the loooong wait for a down shift.

Think AMS has chip. Remember that the slower, gentler shift will result in longer component life
