Tiptronic Upshifting in Manual Mode
Had tip for 4 weeks and just hit 900 miles. I generally drive her in manual (M) mode unless in bumper to bumper traffic (which is 2-4 days per week) and always hit the sport button after starting the car. For the first 800 miles or so the TT would not upshift (bounced at redline) while in M. Now, she does upshift in M mode from 2nd gear to third gear (not from first to second or at least not that I noticed). Of course this is all under very hard acceleration. Now I know in Drive mode that upshifting occurs, but I thought that in M mode that the Tip was unable to upshift without using the buttons. What am I missing ? Is there something wrong with my tip tranny or is it that even when in M mode the tip will upshift under very hard acceleration like the BMW steptronic tranny. If that is the case, is there anything that can be done by me so that the tranny will not upshift under extremely hard acceleration ? PLEASE DON'T TELL ME TO GET A 6 SPEED - been there, done that (countless times).
