A6 Quattro traction control kicking in?
 

I have an '02 A6 Quattro 4.2L that has an acceleration problem. If I
slow down at a stop sign and roll through without fully stopping when I
try to accelerate sometimes it feels as though the traction control has
kicked in and while I get high revs, it will not shift unless I take my
foot off the accelerator and then press down again.
Bad speed sensor? My mechanic has said it hasn't thrown an error code
so what gives.
