Default 07 a6 corvette trans slipping from 2-3 shift

Hello everyone,

I've had my corvette for about a year now and it has 42,000 miles. I've never had this transmission problem before. I received a slew of mods about 5 months ago. These mods consist of a transmission tune, torquer 2 cam 114 lsa, lg headers, ud pulley, vararam intake, 160 stat, and a full dyno tune netting me 405.41 whp and 386.19 trq. My transmission was tuned in S mode only and it seems at times when I'm rolling down the road at 55mph and drop the hammer my transmission kicks down to 2nd, like usual, and at the shift into 3rd the rpms shoot up to redline. This doesn't happen every time but it's happened 3 times out of the 10 times I've gone wot in the last 10 days. It has not done this while driving in D mode. I'd appreciate your help, thanks.

The A6 had some issues with the shift selenoid orings leaking and causing problems with the 2-3 shifts, specially if trans temps are below 104 degrees. there was TB but I don't have the number.

Looks like I'm going to need to pay a visit to the dealership. I'm thinking it could be a tuning issue as well. Either way I'll need to find that TSB number lol. Thanks for the help.

I have the same issue.

*Supposedly* this can be tuned around. I will find out shortly, but otherwise I'll be forking over a buttload of money to replace the seals and anything else.

Well, hopefully that's the case. Man I hope I can get this tuned out. I'd hate to have to fork over a bunch of money to get this fixed. Gotta pay to play though, but I'm hoping it's not too major.
