Car won't shift at WOT
I have a 97 A4. I just got my car tuned after having my A&A Vortech kit and my Yank 2800 installed. My A/F was good and everything was good on the dyno. Just driving around the car is just fine, and even at half throttle it shifts just like it should. My rev limiter is set at 5800. At WOT the car just will not shift and at about 5200 the torque converter seems to let loose and it just flys up and bounces off the limiter. My tuner tried 4 different shift points even as low as 4500. What ever the shift points are set at, when the car hits that RPM it will not shift and the converter just seems to let loose and the tach just flys up and bounces of the rev limiter.
Does anyone know what might cause this. Any help would be greatly appriciated.

Whats the MPH & RPM shift points set at & what gears do you have,How many miles on the trans,The rev limit seems kind of low.Now that I think about it,Your car should be shifting about 5800rpm.Your probably hitting the rev limiter before it can shift.Need more info.................Paul
