hey A4 guys. when i had my 2000 Z28. i noticed that when i would shift the car into reverse it felt rough shifting to it. like it made a rubbing noise as it shifted. also when i test drove an 02 WS6 A4 i shifted it into reverse and was wondering if it would make the same sound and for some reason this one did as well. i check out my tranny fluid and it was good to go. i was just wondering if this is normal or what. like i said it made like a rubbing noise as the tranny was shifting into reverse. and it only did that in reverse....just wondering if you guys had the same experience...

 

Does it shift into reverse easily when the engine is off? I had a problem with my 2002 Z that was the result of a bad slave cylinder. Basically, the clutch was always dragging. Reverse eventually was next to impossible to shift into with the motor running. First was tough also and the 3-4 shift was a bit rugged.

GM said my slave cylinder was leaking down and allowing the clutch to drag. They said the flywheel was completely blue from heat. Fortunately I had just enough warranty to get a new slave cylinder and flywheel. No more problems.

 

Ummmmm he said A4 as in automatic.
