Hi all. I've got an A4 and an A6, both '97 Qattro 2.8L automatics. The A4 has 240,000+ miles on it and the A6 about 150,000. I love them both. But recently the A6 has given me an odd problem. Sometimes it doesn't want to change gears. If I come to a complete stop, and then start again, it seems to be okay. It's only happened a couple of times in the last 2 weeks or so.

Is this a sign of a dying transmission? Or something else? What does transmissions repair/replacement cost?

Thanks,
Jim

 

i say check the tranny fluid level, it could be a sensor or somthing. im not very smart when it comes to automatic transmission.

 

Gearshift jolts; individual gears slipping; gearshifts take too long Note[/align] The illustration shows this fault with the valve body dismantled. The valve body must not be dismantled for workshop servicing. t Possible fault: One of the 3 rubber dampers in the valve body cracked -arrow-. t Fault rectification: ā€“ Check condition of ATF
If ATF is OK: ā€“ Renew valve body. If ATF is not OK, the fault was not identified and repaired quickly enough. In this case, clutch ā€œGā€ is probably also damaged. ā€“ Dismantle and clean complete gearbox. ā€“ Clean ATF pipes and ATF cooler. ā€“ Dismantle and check all clutches. ā€“ Renew valve body .

did u figure out the prob jimatsqi?

 

I would check the Cam shaft sensor

 

Did you fix your transmission problem, because I have something similar it gets stuck sometimes and the mechanic told me it's the brake light bulb, I changed the bulb and it got decreased but still get stuck sometimes.
