Performance Shift is a normal feature of going full throttle for like a second or more. It firms up the shifts and the car essentially thinks its at a track. Holds the car in the proper gear longer, etc. Apparently you never ran your car WOT before the new mods lol. My car does it just fine in stock form.

Can't tell from the original post if the car is refusing to shift when it's supposed to or if it's just going into performance shift mode and holding the gear. The car should shift if being pushed to redline, but if you briefly (<1 second) tap the throttle WOT, it will just downshift and hold it there for a while until it returns to normal. Is this what you're experiencing or the car truly refusing to shift?

10 speed

To clarify I have held my car wide open many many times n know how this is supposed to work the problem being is it doesn’t shift the performance shift thing pops up and it’s like it knocks car in neutral for a second
So if I punch it it goes up to about redline when it should shift it don’t n performance Shift shit come across screen

Sounds like you have a transmission issue then. How much power are you running? May be time for a dealer visit if you have a good one or an aftermarket shop that you trust.

A trans tune may help...But not if something is broken.

Thanks for clarifying. It very well could be tune related, but no way of telling if it's hurt or not. Personally, I'd probably go talk to a reputable speed shop who tunes these regularly and talk to them first.

+1 this. Dealer will just void the warranty and tell you to pound sand.
