I have a 99 A4 2.8 non quattro. I have noticed when I first start the
car in the morning the car idles at 2000 RPMS an then when it gets
warm it drops to 1000 RPMS. (I live in Phoenix too so it never gets
cold) Car drives great but shifts funny. If I am goin 80 mph on the
highway car would be at 4000 rpms. I know this is not normal, but
looking for some advice to see if this is a major transmission job
that needs to be done.

what is the temp at 'cold' start.
the idle appears a little high in both cases.
80 should equal around 2500 rpm in 5th.
yes sounds like you could still be in 4th and have a shift problem.

Normally when I start the car in the morning it's around 70 degrees
outside. Car is automatic if that helps also. Would tune-up help or
what options am I looking at?

it certainly sounds like some sort of diagnostic needs looking at.
the box must have a form of electronic control as I believe they learn the
way an individual drives......well mine seems to.
