Have a A6 with a T43 controler, when driving under normal conditions it seems to flare between 4th to 5th. it does it in all modes. Any hints to help rectify this problem.

I think there is a GM software update that corrects this issue. Is this a 2007 operating system and calibration?
No, it is in a 2008 vehicle OS 24243170, Cal 24243178.
Cheers Ian
Put the VIN in here:
http://tis2web.service.gm.com/tis2web
And see if there are any updates that mention the flare fix.
Here is the CAL ID for the fix on the 2007 controllers:
24239571 - New calibration to correct 4-5 upshift flare
Ok, I must be missing something, I entered my vin in and the cal part no and the info it gave me was was correct. what nextQuote:

Ok, I get to the summary.where do I find the history??have gone through it several times but cant seem to find the button that I click 2 find the history.it goes through choosing Holden/Chev then Australia, then it gives me a summary.Quote:

Any way the only fixes I can find 4 it is acceleration delay due to tip in torque management.Thanks heaps 4 that, but it looks like they havnt had a go at fixing this 1 yetQuote:

At present as with the car industry in financial trouble, if the problem is not causing warranty costs, and there is no budget to fix it...............
I have tried 2 different OS's and 5 different factory cals between them, including an 09 Holden and I cant find the flare......apart from the annoying in-decision when turning a corner in the middle of the 2-3/3-2 threshold area. :doh:

Ok. If anyone is interested. I may have stumbbled on maybe a fix for the flaring.I have been trying every thing with my car since we bought it over 15 months ago. The other day I tuned the car maffless car and wella the flaring hasnt happen since. Thought It might help someone else out there as it has frustrated the #%$^ out me.
Cheers Ian
Hmmm... might be an indication that shift adaptive learning is not working right.
Well it is back. The flaring has snuck back in a couple of weeks after I did the maffless full flash, so if it is the shift learning I am not sure how to fix it as the learning is on the TCM side and when I did the full flash to the ECU it seemed to stop (4 a while anyway).
i cant stop the flares between any shift anymore
Havnt had time lately to do much with the problem, but going through the tune I have noticed that there is a fare bit of difference in the adapt learning parrameters when you compare 1-2, 2-3 etc when you get to 4-5 it dosnt seem to be consistant with all the others. Any way I might get a chance to have a play and will let you know.
Cheers Ian
Has GM has issued any TCM calibration updates specifically addressing flaring during shifts...?Quote:

2 cars with the same OS have flare. 2 other cars with a different OS have no flare at all. All the cars are Magnacharged.
I have found with A6 cars that if the reported load of the engine is not "spot on" you can get flare issues. Since the T43 is a torque based controller if the MAF and VE are not dialed in (which is reporting load) the trans will calculate at a lower or higher load then is correct.Quote:
