Tranny going?
Tranny going? So when I put my car (01WS6 just hit 28000 miles) into gear (A4) It makes a metallic ping sound which I can here from inside the car. Also when I going about 55 MPH and accelerate it makes a grinding sound. What could this be is my tranny going? Thanks
Drop the pan and see what the fuild looks like. My A4 made that same grinding sound if I stomped on the gas from 35mph to about 60mph. Not really a sound that you want to hear from a tranny. My clutches started to go about a week after the funny tranny sounds.

I didnt have the noise while putting it in gear but I had the grinding noise and shuttering at around 55 or 60 after my converter locked. Turned out to be the lock up clutch going bad. I bought a new stall and flushed the tranny real good and its fine. I wouldnt drive it too much considering if it is just the converter and it grenades youll have to rebuild the entire tranny as well.

btw, this did it the worst when it was wet outside.
