OK so it has been several months now with UL 2 (a 2003 S) and my tiptronic and I must admit I am having a hard time adjusting (UL 1 was the 5 speed and my Audi A6 is a six speed manual).

So the car starts up in 2 gear and by 35mph it is already in 4th. At 45 I am in 5th gear and never get over 3000 rpm.

I have never driven any car that I am in 4th gear before leaving my sub division.

Is this right? I have used the tip to down shift to 1st gear but it will rapidly and automatically shift back up to 2nd.

Can someone please explain?
