Auto gearbox problem? - Audi 100 Type 44 1984
Hey group
So it's time for me to pick your brains again :-) Our beloved 100 has just transported us 2000km across europe in 6 days without missing a beat, mostly with speeds between 140 & 160 km/h on the motorways but also some very hot summer traffic-jams too. No problems whatsoever. Strange that, as soon as we get home, the auto 'box starts getting a little weird; when changing from 1st to 2nd, it tends to slur a little, as if it's attempting to get power through but not really succeding - the closest thing I can think of to describe it is that it feels like I'm feathering the clutch in a manual car... As the motor warms up the problem seems to go away - sometimes totally, sometimes so that it's only noticeable by looking at the rev-counter. The takeoff from idle and change from 2nd to 3rd give no problems whatsoever, and we can't seems to reproduce it when shifting manually. Any ideas? Cheers, Chris : ) |

That auto trans has a 2nd gear brake band that should be adjusted to
compensate for high mileage wear. I used to remove and clean the ATF strainer, put in a new paper gasket and pan rubber gasket, fill with 3 liters of Dexron II fluid and then adjust the band. You'll find the technical detail in the Bentley repair manual. Salud! Ramon, 1987 5000 CS Quattro in FL, USA.

Thanks dude, that sounds like it could a possible cause - I'll take a look during the week :-) Cheers Chris : ) > "Chris G." <bloodygreycat@hotmail.com> wrote in message > news:44b4ec9a$0$12636$edfadb0f@dread14.news.tele.d k... >> Hey group >> >> So it's time for me to pick your brains again :-) >> >> Our beloved 100 has just transported us 2000km across europe in 6 days >> without missing a beat, mostly with speeds between 140 & 160 km/h on the >> motorways but also some very hot summer traffic-jams too.
