abnormal shifts on my A4 tranny
the 1-2 shift suddenly got really jerky tonight as if i installed a shift kit. it's kinda neat at first but i no it isn't normal so it can't be good. i have 2.73 gears and the thing almost chirps the tires while barely giving any throttle! what is the deal? is my tranny going bad? or could i have possibly broke a tranny mount at the track lastnight?
the car is stock.
thanks,
Michael.

i think its safe to say that it would either be a shift solenoid or somthing stuck in the valve body...im in the same boat in my Z...started slipping 2-3 about a week ago...but i dont have any solenoids ('93) so i skip straight to the rebuild....

tranny going bad is my guess. what does the fluid look like? is it a black color or still red? DO NOT CHANGE THE FLUID again. it is doing more damage than good. everytime u change it, it adds more lubrication which is moving around all the "gunk" in there which leads to lack of friction, which leads to slipping.

well, i just took it for a test drive to get the tranny warmed up for checking the fluid. it's shifting fine now! lastnight it was off and on too. anyways, i checked the fluid and it appears i'm about a 1/2 quart over full on the fluid (i know that's not good). but the fluid looked very clean and didn't smell burnt. so maybe i'll be alright? ...or could i have damaged something still?
