I don't know if this is a problem or not. I have a 97 automatic 2.8. When<SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 8.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA">accelerating into 3rd gear,the car kind of jumps and the rpm's go up a little. It's pretty consistant.Is this something to worry about? <IMG src=smileys/smiley6.gif border="0"></SPAN>

 

Ive got the same tranny. do you mean when accelerating hard or just normaly?</P>


</P>

 

Well if i accelerate very hard, it almost goes away. It's during normal accelaration that it jerks.

 

yeah mind shifts a little hard sometimesnormally when its cold but i gotta take a ride in a few minutes so ill do some research<IMG src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0">and get back to you a little latter

 

Aah my shifts great under half throttle/normal accelarationreal smooth but at 3/4 throttle it kind of jumps into third I guess its normal enough I wouldnt worry unless its pretty offensive

I once discussed with the staff of the local Audi dealer here in Hong Kong about the 2.8 A4. I was told that one of the 2.8 A4 ownershad brought in his car for inspection of the gearbox as the same problem as Jestnomen's occured, and they could not detect any problem on the gearbox, not even by the official engineer who particularly came over from Germany<IMG src=smileys/smiley9.gif border="0">. So I think it is normal and no need to worry<IMG src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0">.</P>

 

Well I'm glad it's probably nothing to worry about. I appreciate the help SlimChriz and Avantian.
