    Recently, I'm having a slow 2nd gear shift issue. It shifts from 1st to 2nd gear at high rev (3500 rpm+). The rest of gears shift normally. Scan has revealed no codes. Have changed AFT some 10K miles ago. What would possibly be the issue?

    I've searched the forum, and most of the posts have dead links and pictures that don't work, and were created before the newer cars came out. I ditched all the wood trim in my W8, so the auto shift knob looks a bit odd. I found this one for a C6 Audi (and A3/Q7): No clue if it fits or not...
