Engine sputters when shifting?
Hello, having problem with RS4. When the car tries to shift into second the car sputters and never recovers. It runs great at WOT from a stop but when it gets to the shift point in bogs and sputters. Any ideas? This is a new one for me. Thanks

RE: Engine sputters when shifting?
I doubt it's actually anything to do with changing into 2'nd gear. Most likely it is simply a tuning issue, and when it reaches certain revs the engine is starved of fuel - it just happens to coincide with when it should be shifting.
Lock out 2'nd gear and try again. If it does the same thing it's just a matter of tuning - if it solves the problem then it's a fault in the 2-speed assembly.
