Your over drive band is probably going out. I think its called an over drive band...Id have to look at my transmission rebuild sheet to see..Get it fixed now before its too late.

im not the smartest person when it comes to transmissions, but ive replaced enough of them. i have a 95 t/a w/ an a4 and mine was doing the same exact thing, everytime i would be at WOT, once it got up to a certain rpm it was as if you put it in nuetral, just reved up and slipped. lets just say that now my car is parked, and the only gear i still have is reverse. lol.
