Tranny problem- did it happen to you?
Was driving on the highway with PSM off, put the pedal to the medal to get by the slow-poke messing up the flow of traffic in the left lane, tranny down shifted to 4th smoothly, and then when it was revving high and tried to up-shift it slipped/stuttered and I had to hit the tiptronic on the steering wheel to make it go to 5th. What is going on???
Yes, my tranny fluid is at the level it is supposed to be, and no I did not have the floorshifter in manual (in case you were going to ask).

Sounds kind of like the rev limiter kicked in. Were you at red line when the slipping/stuttering occured?

When PSM is switched off, your tranny goes into a different mode (sportier) with later upshifts. In addition, it will not upshift when you hit redline like it normally does. It will just bounce off the rev-limiter. This sounds like what happened in your case.
