I experience a transmission "Stutter" in the lower gears at 35 to 45 MPH. when cold.
It seems like the A8 is trying to chose the right gear without success. The condition is better at temp. but not gone. The mode is usually set to Sport.
Harder acceleration eliminates the problem but creates another by pissing off the Cops.

Is it this?

Although I still hit hesitations sometimes on shifts, my main problem is when the car is cold and I start it up and then shift, it jerks the car forward pretty harsh. But if I want 15 - 20 seconds before I shift, it's fine. Not sure if this TSB is related to that issue.

Toque converter
I have heard that the toque converter P/N changed and has been updated for 2016.... More fluid capacity...
Anyone also hear this? I have a 2015 Silverado that shifts hard when cold, also my brother bought an ATSV with said transmission... Tracked it and sold it two weeks later because of over heating transmission! I also have an A8 Z06 with issues above 120MPH
