Is a Transmission Tune Worth It? || S6 Unitronic Stage 2 Transmission Tune!

[@unitronic]

Thanks for putting this video together Matt, we're excited to see how the car performs under better conditions! Happy Holidays to you, dad and the family!

[@NotSoHandyCarGuy]

You’re very welcome! For sure. I’ll be keeping an eye on the weather, and looking out for good weather windows. Happy holidays from us to the Unitronic Fam!! 🎉🌲

The best son ever. I do have to admit that brought tears to my eyes the second time I watch the video. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@MaximusLX]

I loved the audio clips from the intake and exhaust omg

[@drivenbyboost]

Great video Matt!!! The Santa scene had Adriana and in tears. Love it and that S6 is sooo sweet

[@NotSoHandyCarGuy]

Thanks CHRIS YOUNG!! Oh my god I’m so glad. I feel like I sunk so deep into character. Sams been calling me St. Nick ever since.

[@walker11907]

Love the videos man, never knew the potential of the s6 I honestly forgot they made them. I’ve been looking for a new daily that can combine power and luxury. I daily a stroked out 2006 Jeep Srt8 and it has the power but zero comfort 😂keep the videos coming! Can’t wait to pick up my s6!!

[@hikeskool]

Trans tune is _so_ important. I've heard good things about the Silly Rabbit Motorsports TCU tune. Are you guys still happy with the Unitronic tune?

[@NotSoHandyCarGuy]

I’ll have to look into them! But yes, very satisfied with Unitronic. Awesome quality products and customer support. The shifts are so much quicker with the tune.

I got a PCM tune for my old 2000 GTP (old car so this tune also reprogrammed the transmission). It was by far the best mod I put in that thing. The place I went through dialed it in perfect to match my other mods. Like you said, a well programmed tune is not only great for performance but can also improve longevity of the drivetrain. The slushbox 4T65e-HD in the GTP was notorious for going out, but mine shifted perfect (way better than stock) until I had to get rid of it with 180k miles and it never gave me trouble. Great video Matt!

[@NotSoHandyCarGuy]

Man I miss that car. I bet you do tremendously. That thing was so cool, not only because it was a good car with a a great engine, but because you rarely see people taking care of that era Pontiac. Thanks Mike!!

HAHA THANX BROH. RIPPED IT CLEAN

[@xMoKaManX]

Are these detectable through the dealer I just bought a Audi s6 and I been down that road with getting my warrantee voided out through Subaru before with my old sti 😔

[@nigels6786]

Is it stock with jus tcu tune?

[@zinapower1665]

Hey there! Great content. I found it very informative. Can you please make a video sharing your impressions/information regarding the overall reliability of the S6? Thanks!

[@NotSoHandyCarGuy]

Sorry I just noticed this! Glad you enjoyed the video. I have a full review of the S6 that I did last year that goes deeper into my impressions. But so far, the car only has about 12,000 miles on it so we haven’t experienced any reliability issues. There’s a couple good videos out there that go more in depth about the S6 reliability though.

[@exotiq9180]

Does tuning the transmission damage it in the long run

[@NotSoHandyCarGuy]

No, it should help extend its longevity by decreasing shift speeds and minimizing clutch slip

[@danthibeault40]

Whats that ya say now?

[@jimallen3956]

So what was the initial 0-60 time and the 0-60 after the tune?

[@NotSoHandyCarGuy]

3.46 before and 3.71 after, but only because of the wheel slip during the second and third runs

[@hikeskool]

Did you watch the video?

[@kyleharris1764]

Would a TCU tune speed up the manual upshift on my RS3??? Currently takes its sweeeet time.

[@NotSoHandyCarGuy]

Ohhh yeah it would. I’m sure it would make a massive difference.

[@NotSoHandyCarGuy]

Definitely look into Unitronic

[@kyleharris1764]

Yeah, I’ve got the ECU map, but definitely have noticed some inconsistencies. Thanks!

[@tommygunnz130]

Is the S6 stock? I’m thinking about doing some tunes to my S4

[@NotSoHandyCarGuy]

It’s completely stock besides the 93 octane Unitronic tune. No bolt-ons yet. Definitely look into the he tunes for the S4! Is it a B8?

[@tommygunnz130]

@@NotSoHandyCarGuy it’s actually a B9

[@tommygunnz130]

@@NotSoHandyCarGuy not sure if it’s compatible for my S4 yet. I went on the website and it only goes up to 2020. I have a 2021.

[@NotSoHandyCarGuy]

@@tommygunnz130 ah ok. You should check out the @Drivenbyboost channel. He’s got a B9, running a Uni tune. I’m not sure if his is a ‘20 or ‘21 though. I’m sure if you reach out, Unitronic will answer all the questions you have
