Are you sure you didn't drain the ATF? That drain plug is very close to the oil plug on the bottom of the cars. If this happened you have an empty tranny and overfull engine, assuming you put oil back in since you said you started the car.

Audi A6 2.8 L 1995

I am not sure where the plug is.A normal car or pickup is right on the bottom.As u know the audi has the same,exept it has a plug on the side but not right on the bottom. i would say about 70 mm from the bottem of the sump .I hope

PLease help not sure what to do .That car is (was) in very good condition .In south Africa not a lot of people know how to work on this caR

How much do you think this repair will cost?

I would need the transmission rebuilt. I received an estimate for a new transmission at $5000. Way too much not worth it.

If its too pricy I would probably end up having to sell the car the way it is with transmission needing repair. How much money do you think I get for a car in that condition.

First - get vehicle on VAG tool - you may have solenoid problems, etc.
Second- (and to address the reverse gear issue mentioned in thread) the -24 and other variants of this ZF trans have reverse drum issues - I had mine rebuilt due to reverse drum failure for ~$3900 w/an 18 mo warranty by an independent shop. In my case, the car was worth keeping w/only 75K miles.

98 A6 Quattro...auto trans problems

Thanks for all the info. My AT is steadily getting worse...no reverse problems. Seems to run only in 2nd or 3rd once it's warm....I love the car, only 98K miles.
