Should the transmission be hot or cold when level is checked? Engine running ? In neutral ?

Does the tranny have a learning curve ? Does it matter how you drive the car/will it shift any different ?

Is there any way to reset the computer like disconnecting the battery to make it shift better ? It still slips a little...I'm sure the tranny is on its way out....

 

You need to check it when the trans is worm.

The trans will learn but the only way it adapts is that it will hold the gears longer

You can recode the trans but if you want it to shift harder you need a tip chip

 

A possiblity may be your torque converter is bad. That causes slips and is common for Audis, but is less expensive than a new tranny. Are you getting a "CHECK ENGINE"? If so, check the code. That whats wrong with mine. The slipping isn't really bad yet though.

 

What year is your A6? You cant check the fluid on some models because they are selaed tranny's. I believe 2001-2004 C5's

 

Its a 98 and it is without a dip stick....and now the tiptronic part of the transmission isnt working anymore....

 

You check the trans fluid between 35 and 45 degress celcius for the trans fluid. Engine running. You need a scan tool to check the temperature of the fluid.
The tip not working could be avariety of things, but there will most likly be a fault in the transmission control module pointing to the fautly componant.

 

Okay, are you 100% sure on it needing to be running? Thats what I asked the guy at the shop and he said "not running"....
