Default Auto shift point modification

All I want to do is prevent the tansmission on my '08 from shifting into 5th gear below 50mph and 6th gear below 60 mph. Is there an easy way to do this without voiding the warantee?

No. You're going to need your transmission tuned (which will technically void the powertrain warranty). After that, it's up to your service manager whether to honor your warranty or not.

You can do it with the tune with out altering anything else. The key to not voiding your warranty is they have to prove that you altering those shift points led to your malfunction. Ive had a tune for a while and before my warranty expired they still fixed my car but I didnt break anything that was related to the tune either.

Yes, it's called the "S" mode of the A6. Just use the paddles to shift when you want.

Or; Even easier to have a heavy right foot. Plant your foot on the floorboard and the 5th gear shift will be WAY above 50MPH.
