If you have an A8- does your tach stay at a steady RPM and no fluctuation at all or do you see a little bit of fluctuation?

50 MPH is too low for 8th Gear, you need to be doing 53 MPH + to consistently use 8th gear without having issues.

Mainly 8th gear is only useful on the freeway. Otherwise its 7th that you need to be in.
