A4 Transmission
Does anyone know of an easy (and CHEAP) way of tightening up an A4 trans. I like the automatic because I'm lazy and I'm in traffic a lot, but its a little sloppy for me. Looking for shorter duration mostly.
Thanks for the help............And remember........Cheap.......I have a wife!!

I swapped out gears to a 3.42 and put in a Yank TC along with a Hypertech to firm up shifts - but that was vey expensive.
Many here will recommend the TransGo Shift kit - which is pretty cheap... but my mechanic won't put it on my C5 for me - unless I firm up other things. He knows I don't have money to buy another trans if I blow mine out.
BTW - this thread is going to go on for a while I think.

That's probably the cheapest and easiest way to make an improvement.
There are even more effecrtive methods - but they'll cost you more (especially if you figure in the installation labor).

Reprogramming achieves far better results WITHOUT going into the transmission.
