C5 A4 question re: shifter function
The C4 featured a higher pressure shift mode in the A4 when the shifter was placed into "3" instead of "OD". Does the C5 feature the same increased internal transmission line pressure mode?

Thanks, but no answer as yet. In the C4, placing the shifter in "3" would result in sharper, harder shifts. I wonder if the same logic was built into the C5 transmission. Anybody?

I had considered posting at the C5 tech site. Probably an outstanding suggestion. Sorry, fellow Corvette lovers, this is my first post. I had anticipated that there is significant cross over between the sites. Possibly not.
I don't want to do anything if the site monitors are going to move it over anyway. No need for dual postings.
Thanks everyone.

I've read multiple times (and then tried it myself) that when the A4 is in "3" ... WOT shifts occur at a slightly higher RPM.
It did this exact thing in mine; and I tested it before I had any reprogramming done.
