Default revving issue

when i go WOT or accelerate quickly in my t/a it will rev up faster than my acceleration, i still have good acceleration but my RPM will rev up almost to the red line, is my tranny slipping or my clutch going out?

try going up a hill in 3rd or 4th and give it lots of gas. if it revs up quick your clutch is slipping and it needs to be replaced.

im confused. are you m6 or a4? because if you have a m6 then your tranny cant be slipping, and if you have an a4 than your clutch cant be going out. witchever it is, ide say it is clutch (m6) or frictions in the tranny (a4) due to your symptoms

In an automatic, the "tranny slipping" are the clutches slipping. So, technically an A4 can have clutch slip

An M6, as Flacon said, won't have tranny slip. When you have a problem in a gear, you'll know. You'll know from it either not going into gear, being stuck in gear, or a loud noise lol
