Question Questions on 02 3.0 A6?

Alright guys i have a few issues with my a6. Recently my trannys been acting up so i thought id ask around. Occasionally it will hop into limp mode, but not all the time. i checked around and the front tranny case next to the oil pan seems a little leaky. Im guessing thats just causing the problem (low tranny fluid). The only problem i have driving is shifting from second to third, it loves to hold second gear for some reason. it doesnt downshift a little hard from time to time too. SO im guessing it just needs a flush and new fluid. not sure if its ever been changed, bought it at 96k at 104k now. So any help on this would be greatly appreciated. (2002 a6 3.0 Quattro 104k, timing belt-100k)

It would be a good idea to have the transmission serviced & see if there are any faults stored in the TCM.

change the fluid and filter. Don't flush.

And like said earlier I would scan for codes first then if none are found proceed with the oil change.
