could be solenoid pack or valve body. It is defintely something you will have to have done at the dealer. As much as I dislike dealerships I wouldn't trsut that work to anyone else but.

IIRC the pats are abot 300 to 400 each. I will look later. It requires a transmission fluid flush/refill which about another 170 dollars as well plus the labor. It is easily a 1200 dollar job after all is said and done.

hated. Are you still under warranty?
If not ask for an after warranty adjustment. If the mileage is low enough you might get it.

i'm pretty sure to get it into first gear you have to depress the accelerator 60%

I feel the car drives normal but I feel the rpms reel high when it switches and when I use the tiptronic it works so I'm confused about that
