C32 low vmax limiting and tranny weirdness
Hey all, just wanted to see if any other C32 owners have seen this. The car will accelerate normally up to 110-120mph and then it just hits a wall. After this, it behaves very strangely. It then seems to randomly limit itself to anywhere between 60mph and the original 110ish mark. After the initial limit, it also sometimes feel/sounds like it's trying to rev, but there's very little forward motion, even at WOT. Other weird things will then happen too, like idling at a stop at 2000 rpms and just generally weird transmission/shifting behavior.
It's of course going to the dealer but I'm not really sure what to think and any advance knowledge would be helpful. A lot of the behavior sounds like a slipping clutch (I'm assuming it's technically possible in an auto?), except for the absolute wall at 110-120.
EDIT: No error codes of any kind.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts.
