Pretty sure your PCM can be re-tuned to modify shift points and such.
I had this done to my 99 A4.
Contact Doug at East Coast Supercharging or Chuck Cow at Corvettes of Westchester or a local shop that has the tuning gear.

Hey there....

Give me a ring any time..... 914-332-0049

I spend my days and nights reprogramming Automatic transmissions to make them shift better, firmer, and faster.

Additionally all shift points, torque management, and converter lockup characteristics are modified for the best possible

feel and performance and there is no need for any mechanical changes to the trans at all.
