As we all know, 1993-1998 VW Jetta automatic transmissions are complete crap. Since VW/Audi are practically siblings, are early A4 automatic transmissions complete crap, also? I love my car but my parents keep suggesting that I get a Lexus SC400.

Thanks,

well mine is still working after twice as much miles as jetas and Pasats. the tranies are diferent becouse the engine is siting diferently. by 90 degreees to be exact. Audies trannies are much stronger.

 

I hope you are right, I want to upgrade to a 2001 A4 1.8QT as soon as possible...probably by the time I transfer to San Jose State.

 

Might as well just go for an '02. There were quite a few changes between 01-02 Most important is the dual exhaust. I just like the way it looks.

 

I really love the late B5.

 

i almost never hear of problems w/ audi trannies on forums.... soooooo i am going to say youre good. but like every car if you dont take care of it things will malfunction.

 

nothing wrong with the transmission apart from lazy servicing like any car

 

It should be good unless you mistake the trans. plug for the oil plug, drain your tans. fluid. Then over fill the engine oil, and drive the car for 50 miles like that. LOL. True story and it's running like it's new!!! Frickin right!!

 

im gunna have to say late style b5's are the best but im not bias at all

 

LMAO! thats funny.
