Turning it off, or decreasing it substantially, makes the trans shift quicker, more firmly, and lessens the time the clutch packs are slipping, which some trans builders say is better for the trans than the slow gradual shifts which tend to let the clutch packs and bands spend more time partially engaged and slipping.

So Ed....if you have an A4 and simply want a little more agressive shift but don't plan on going out and drag racing with it, which would you recommend?
For the average daily driver, would you simply decrease it or turn it off completely?
What is the approximate cost to bring it by Va Speed and have this procedure done? (I live and work in Va Beach)
