I have a 95 z a4 i just got the car a month ago i already had to replace the opti(400 bucks) now my tranny seems to be slipping 3-4 and it also seems to be shifting back into 3 right after shifting into 4 sometimes the guy i got the car from gave me the reciept from the trans being rebuilt a couple months ago i hope it wasnt a botched job i have tunercat and datamaster anyone know what the problem is and if i can fix it with tunercat im new to the 4th gen game its turnin out to be a real pain in the so far but im eager to learn

 

really... no veiws or replies??? i guess this is a clicky message board??? there are people talking weather and clothing on here not that theres anything wrong with that but no veiws even???ok

 

35 minutes on a holiday weekend, and you've decided were all against you....

The response on the "Computer...." and "Drivetrain" forums is often slow, but we've got some good people who can help when they do show up.

PS: It's spelled "clique".... and no, there are none here. Sorry you feel that way. Good luck - you're going to need it.

 

yea ur right injuneer sometimes im a big dummy guess i just got frustrated cause dis was my second post and no response to either maybe im posting in all the wrong categories my apoligies

PS: im a crappy speller and seems like i got a lotta luck with dis car mostly bad luck

 

the 3-4 clutch is most likely on its way out. save up for a rebuild.

never fear, 4l60 guy is here!

Is it slipping on the 3-4 shift, or in 3rd and 4th?
4th is the band re-applying. If second is ok under full throttle, and 3rd gear is ok,.......its likely the seals on the overdrive portion of the accumulator/band apply servo, or a loss of hydraulic pressure somewhere from the valve body to the band apply piston for 4th gear. In short, unless you have a manual and understand anything I just said,......yer fu[ked. If youre mechanical skills are up to par, I may be able to help, but you may have to drop the valve body, and thats scarey for most ppl.

 

Take it back for warranty repair.

Probably the seller already did, and was refused which is why he sold it. But start with the obvious path...
