can rev match be turned off

i figured out what is causing my issue with my 2018 A10 car when coming to a stop. it always felt like the car was initially pushing forward briefly when coming to a stop. today i figured out it bumps the rpm when automatically downshifting and coming to a stop and i don't like it. can it be turned off?

Yeah I too experience this, it's really off putting. As you approach a stop it lurches you forward causing you to have to aggressively manage braking pressure. Super super annoying.

What shifter (D or S) position and what drive mode?

Try D in normal drive mode OR even manual shifting in S in "normal/S", S+, Track without downshifting for stops. D and normal work very well for me. My recollection is that if I don't downshift with the paddles when in manual mode downshifts happen at the last minute and are smooth similar to being in D and normal mode. However, you have to remember that you are still in manual mode in regard to upshifts as you accelerate.

I experience this in D normal :(

In normal it really shouldn’t do this.
FWIW, in Sport/Sport+/Track, the previous A6 was much worse. In my A10 test drives it was a 200-ish rpm blip, on my current A6 it’s 500-700rpm and makes you sound like a kid with his first manual. :frusty:

This was an issue with my '95 GT. Had to upgrade to Cobra brakes because pony wanted to keep running.

Does this happen all or most of the time or maybe after "spirited driving" in S or S+ or Track modes or even D normal? I MAY have experienced D normal doing the rev matching after "spirited driving" in other modes and maybe even D normal but haven't really tested this yet.

That said, D normal downshifts in my car are barely noticeable when puttering around in traffic.

I notice this too in Sport+, but not in Normal mode. Another issue I have is that in Normal it seems to wait a bit to long to downshift at times. For example when slowing down for a stop light, if it turns green and you hit the gas to accelerate it is reluctant to downshift unless you give it a decent amount of pedal, and since the rpm are low at that point, it feels bogged down and stuck in that rpm when it should be downshifting. My ‘06 downshifted much earlier and with less pedal.

My transmission has always shifted hard from 1-2 and 2-3 both up and down. Mine doesn’t rev match, it just goes into gear VERY firm, which is kinda annoying because it’s a little jerky. It feels like it’s still learning even though I’m at 3k miles. Debating on taking it in and having a rep drive it to see if it’s normal. I’ll disconnect the battery and have it relearn before then...

it only rev matches in any other mode other then snow and normal.

Thats engine braking if its downshifting while braking, and no its baked into the transmission electronic controls. The reason i hate all new auto vehicles

Have to tried using the downshift paddle to get a quick downshift in the situation you described? If you are in D normal the trans will automatically revert to automatic mode about 3 seconds after paddle use unless you are coasting with no gas.

I have experienced this since day one. always in D shifter position and regular driving modes with very easy low speed driving. the issue is most annoying when just coming to a stop. in my case it cant be related to paddle usage as i don't use them, especially in low speed driving through my neighborhood

When I rented one two weeks ago I noticed this a bit, it wasn’t something I thought was a big deal. I seemed to notice it less as the days went on. Interesting for sure. Wont stop me from getting the A10 though.

Interesting. I just did a mixture of puttering around and the complete opposite of puttering around ;), all in normal drive mode and mostly in D. None of the "coming to a stop" downshifts were "rev match" like in S normal or S+ or S in Track. My car is a GTPP with 301A and MagneRide build date 12/21.

I can "feel" the final 2 or 3 downshifts in D normal but nothing like in the other modes.

I hope this helps define at least one version of "normal".

Edit to add: Nannies were on (T/C and Advance Trac).
