Question for fellow automatics
some times when i am using the tiptronic, and when i say sometimes i really mean like 7 out of 10 times, while shifting from first to second my car doesnt shift right away. it will show that i am in second but it will build more rpms in first and then lurch to second....does anyone else have this situation? is it normal? maybe transmission fluid needs changed?

If you're still in the throttle it probably knows an upshift won't help.
I've got a 07 6sp AT, and I'm way to clumbsy to shift myself, but where that triptronic really shines is holding the upshift when you jump out of full throttle to see if you jump back on it again.
I can actually punch the gas a few seconds, let off, and it stays in that same gear while braking hard into the corner. Most autos always upshift the minute you let off the gas so when you're ready to punch it you have to wait for the down shift, and you had less engine braking (annoying).

Idk if that's normal I have an 05 and as soon as I tap from 1st to 2nd it changes!!
Try to shift to 2nd when ur not moving if that takes the same amount of time there is something wrong

i think i will drain the transmission and put new fluid in. every time i get my oil changed the guy would always tell me that the transmission fluid is dirty but i never believe them....seems like there is always something else wrong with your car when you bring it to get serviced. lol
