  • 2002 A4 Transmission Question

    Today when I was coming home on the highway I floored it going around 65, the car shifted like normal but then felt like it came out of gear, or maybe shifted back into 4th gear for a moment, then shifted back down again... That has never happened before, the transmission shifts smoothly and never gives me any issues (except this one) transmission has 58 k on it, fluid was changed maybe 5-6 k ago.

    What could it have been? the car is bone stock.

    might have something to do that the converter was locked and it had to unlock and shift down
    When in doubt, Whip it out !

      thats the thing though, it did shift down rev'd up, then stopped (rpm's dropped way down, but the car was still accelerating just not quickly), then rev'd back up again

            Right... did the pedal pulse up? Could be a bad sensor if it truly did feel like TCS

              My old LS1 TA did that once. Pretty sure it was a fluke. It almost felt like ti was in between gears.
