Hey guys, I have a couple of questions about my 98 Z28 A4. When shifting from 1st to second, its pretty hard, and if I am getting on it a bit, it spins the tires: at first I thought it was form the traction control system, but I turned that off and it still does the same thing and it doesn't shift like that every time either. Would this be a problem with the tranny or is it normal? Also, when I am shifting out of park to any gear, it sometimes takes 2-4 seconds before the transmission goes into gear. I don't know if this is normal, since this is my first F-body and all the other guys I know have M6's and any other automatic I've owned (RWD) has never had much of a delay like that. Normal driving is smooth with good clean shifts. any input would be appreciated!

 

the park to gear sounds wrong. did you check your fluid level?

 

almost sounds like its slipping....reminds me of my old TH350 when it needed a rebuild

 

That doesnt sound right. I was having minor proplems with my old LT1 Trans at 120000 mi
It felt weird when shifting normal and slipped ever so slightly. I changed the fluid to Royal Purple and changed the fillter and it stopped all the slight slipping and it shifted better.

 

I am having the same problem with my 1st to 2nd gear. I thought it was normal?
But my buddys b4c kinda has the same problem? Or do we have 2 bad transmissions?

 

Oh.... I forgot to add that I bought it with a B&M electronic shift kit..... That may play a small part... I think....lol
