i just bought an 04 a6 3.0 automatic transmission w just under 123300 miles... Ok here's my problem I just got it Saturday every thing was fine until I got about 20 miles from home then all of a sudden where it tells you which gear your in on the dash had red flashing behind the letters. It doesn't happen all the time an just randomly. Now some Back story this is my 4th car in 2yrs all had some bad mechanical problems my last was the transmission so I'm kinda parinoid please telling me it's nothing 😟

 

Hi

Do you have a code reader? check for codes, step one

 

No I don't but I can take it tomorrow have it done

 

would recommend, it will either give you peace of mind or make you terrified

 

Awesome lol

 

You need to hire one of those services that finds/buys cars on your behalf. Your track record is suspect. PS - Autozones usually provide free code reading. Good luck, man.

 

well the code it pulled was p0706 so either the transmission control module or the transmission range sensor. my bf said it's a easy-ish fix and if we can rebuild the part we won't have to by a new one. I'm ready to throw in the towle and buy a good old fashion bike lol!
