When I am accelerating very hard with my chipped '01 S4, right after a shift from 2-3, 3-4, the tach will rev higher with no acceleration from the car. Sense is that something is 'slipping'. I don't 'smell' the clutch.
Is this the transfer case? Has anyone had a similar problem?

Thanks. Is this common? Shouldn't this be covered under Audi's warranty?
It's not uncommon with chipped S4s.
As for warranty coverage, the operative word is "chipped", and the answer is "not very likely"...
/daytripper '00 s4 6spd, just out of warranty, and not chipped - yet ;-)
I'm not an authority, of course, but I would be surprised if any car manufacturer would roll over and replace a smoked clutch for free.
If they can find a mechanical defect as the root cause, that's another story, but if you show up with a blued clutch, you best have your credit card ready...

2003 02:12 amIt's the clutch! And I wouldn't warranty it! It's chipped!
Have a Grateful Day(unless you've made other plans)!
