Default still having some transmission issues, ocasionally shifts wierd and very hard other times seems to

shift then have no power. sometimes the engine just does not seem to have power. This happens every couple of days never predictable and aalways under ifferent conditions. Any ideas? Could it be the computer? Any thought swould help.

Default I have a similar problem...

Using tip makes it *almost* go away, but when I'm in normal drive, it gets lost quite often around 30-40 mpg, and on hills.

I don't know what it could be, but it just seems to me that if it was purely mechanical, I'd have similar problems in tiptronic. It just feels like some elctronic issue to me. It is much better in 00001 than 00011, though.

Of course, I make music for a living, so what do I know?
