ok, i have an A4....IT SHIFTS LIKE ONCE......I CAN GO 2 80 MPH AND IT WONT SHIFT...WATS WRONG


A4 02 Z FLOPAC, MAGNAFLO CUTOUT

 

one time i had a shop check out my tranny, and they forgot to connect the VSS and it wouldnt shift. but it wouldnt shift at all. could be related. can you shift it yourself?

 

Could be a shift solenoid. I know on my 94 the E-brake light on the dash will come on when the solenoid is toast. Mine went out shortly after my trans was rebuilt, and it would do like you were describing. It would start off in 2nd, shift and then the torque converter wouldn't lock up. Luckily for me it was all covered by the place that did my trans. If you can, have it scanned. It should tell you whats up.

 

i guess ill just have to test it out...

 

Check your fluid level. 4l60es are very sensative to proper fluid level.

 

i have about 35, 000 miles in the car

 

Its your shift solenoids!!!!! theyre like 15 bcks each one..they are the same part # one is for 2-3 shift...the other for 3-4 shift...and real easy to change them......

 

thanks man...ill check that out!

 

I have an 00 Z A4 and when I bought it it shifted hard into 2nd and then regular to 4th. Gradually it started to somewhat slip a little into 3 and 4 and now all it does is go from 1st to 2nd and not shift to 3rd or 4th. Is mine solenoids or something more drastic?
