for some reason my a4 will not shift into 2nd gear... or 4th gear.. it will rev like forever in 1st... go into 3rd and never go any further.. just started doing that this morning on the way to work.. any possible ideas?

Did you try shifting manually?

ill put it in 2nd and it will go.. but it almost seems like it hesitates to start moving

Mine did the same thing when I first bought it and it ended up being the forward spragg. Changed it out and its been perfect ever since.

Damn, that sucks. How many miles are on that trans?

Looks like you already have it at the tranny shop, but sometimes a plugged exhaust will mess up your shifting... did you lose any power in first or third?

While you are at it you should go with a nice built unit from one of the fabulous trans sponors on the site like Performabuilt or FLT or Ace. I have a Performabuilt lvl 2 and so far I love it. Shifts super hard and fast and the customer service is fantastic and the time from order till I received the trans was only 6 days. Don't let some **** poor shop do it and screw it up. Just my .02. Good Luck.

ok wow. i was going to suggest something rare that ive experienced, but yeah, you pretty much got all the basic f-ups that occur. hehe sorry to hear dude.

well i dont really have the money for a whole new transmission just yet.. i got someone that said he will rebuild it with kevalar bands in it to hold up better along with replacing anything else that messed up for a lil less then $600.. buddy of mines Grandfather that works on promods *shrugs* figured why not give it a shot just to get the car moving agian for now
