Normal A10 Transmission Temperatures?

My guess is that's RPM/paddle shift related. Probably a built in fail safe to keep you from breaking your transmission. Why are you using Paddles during high speed runs?

I love using them. But I would imagine it would be no different in a roll race scenario? Paddles give you the best advantage of putting your car in the power band before a hit. I guess I could try the same thing in automatic and see what happens. I haven’t tried that yet.

For a roll race scenario, you gonna stay in manual, but once you WOT you don't wanna use the paddles, but pushing the gear to "D" once you started and leaving the auto doing its thing (you don't even have to press the button, going from "M" to "D" is just about pushing the lever forward and it locks). You gonna have the best performance.

I still use manual in my "normal" (spirited driving), because otherwise once you relax it start to change to higher gear and you gonna lose the "momentum", but on track and in every circumstances when you're sure to maintain high RPM, driving in "D" would be preferred.

10/4 I’ll give it a shot described this way.

You probably don’t even need to go that far. @npole is correct that unless you’re in manual mode, the paddles are only in effect for a limited time but for what you’re trying to replicate, the Auto is probably going to be better.

I thought in “s” the paddles were the only thing that allow the car to upshift? It will downshift on its own coming to a stop but otherwise the driver has to upshift. That’s how these runs are being done in “s” with paddles

 

[smurfslayer]

You may upshift and downshift with paddles either in drive mode or manual mode. In manual, you control upshifts and downshifts unless you are stopping and going too slow, and then the 10R80 will downshift for you, so that you don’t try to take off in too high a gear.

Good on you if you can time that 1st gear shift to hit in the top of the power band but not hit the rev limiter, first gear is gone ... FAST.

Which is exactly why I’m confused. In my mind I should be able to max out to 155mph with no issues upshifting yet the car seems to cut power in the middle of a pull. Really need to figure this out. I’ll take any ideas lol.

I already told you. There is likely an ECU override when using the Paddles that kicks in at certian speed/rpms combos. I think ive seen it in a video somewhere. Put it in drive and try it again. And try not to kill yourself looking for something wrong with your car.

No, the only cut will happen (as I know of) because of rotational max speed of the 10AT transmission, and this is going to happen only in 6th gear (since with other gear it will hit first the rpm limiter or the speed limiter) at around 6800rpm, and it will not go above it (so it's not like what you described).
If it's happening in other circumstances, then there might be an issue (with temperatures or whatever...).

That does make the most sense. Yeah it otherwise is perfect. Doesn’t consume any oil that I can tell and runs awesome.

I’m gonna do a run in drive and monitor what happens.

It has to be this. Did a pull in sports mode in drive just mashed the throttle and it absolutely pulled no issues no hiccups nothing. Now I’d really like to understand more about what you are trying to say. In my mind whether in drive or using paddles the car should just go as long as you are not hitting the rev limiter.
