Default APR Chip & TIP Shifting Issues? (more)

If you have recently purchased a APR chip for your S4 w/TIP, I would like to know if you have noticed a differance in shifting pattern, under normal driving conditions. I notice in third gear, when shifting to fourth, the car seems like its going to shift up, and then hesitates, and then shifts at a little higher RPM. Also had a freaky thing happen last night, as I coasted across a intersection (maybe at 5 mph), when I did get on the gas, the tranny hesitated, and then.. THUNK, engaged!
Anyone have any experiences like this or otherwise?

Default I have had it over 5000 and am in love. Nothing wierd out of

the Tip except one time when it was stock it did sort of what you talked about. I dont know, these tips sometime have a mind of there own. Have fun.

Default Same thing happens with stock ECU

The 'thunk' is when the tranny shifts into first gear when you are rolling slowly. I hate when it happens and I try to avoid the situation. It usually happens when you let the car slow to a few miles per hour, and then start to go again. It downshifts and hammers the tranny.

I was kind of hoping that the chips would solve this problem.
