Default transmission problem 2006 c6 A6

hey guyz .. recently .. the gears r going crazy .. with the same throttle the gears r down and up shifting themselves .. and so the transmission oil temp goes up with them till like 98C .. what do u think is the problem??

PS i have K&N airintake + diablo sport + Corsa catback .. also before that happened i went to the dealer for a problem which accured is that in Neutral the rpm goes 1200 .. and they said that its a programming issue .. so i got the car back to stock with the diablo and they reflashed it and as soon as they gave me .. i reinstalled the diablo again .. since then the problem happened ..

I'd contact Diablo with this issue. Maybe they can link you to an update or fix on their site or provide some help.

Remove ALL of the Diablo's parameters/programming and then disconnect the battery overnight.
Hook it back up the next day, warm the car up properly and see how it shifts.

guyz i got back to the stock tuning .. and same thing .. i think its a problem with the gear itself .. what could be the reason?? is it a software or a hardware?? also 2 months back the dealer updated the software and had a problem in the software itself .. it was shifting from the first to the second without any throttle applied .. only putting it in D and it goes from first to second to 3rd even .. so i came back and reinstalled it again .. and it got fixed .. maybe its the software again .. or maybe the gears itself were pushing the software to shift .. i dont know .. i have no idea in these stuff guyz .. am really new in mods and in corvette stuff .. need advise ..

Clean your MAF sensor. If dirty, it can do wild things to the trans performance. It is a simple thing to do so why not try?

MAF is between the air cleaner and the intake manifold. It has a creen on it. Buy some MAF cleaner and spray it off(after removong it from the car)

Good suggestion, though I doubt that will solve his issues, certainly worth a try though especially if using a gauze/oil type air filter that could've leaked some oils into the MAF.
Just be careful not to touch or bend any of the wires/lines in there.
