93 100: transmission wont downshift

[AUDIJIM at aol.com]

I just took my wife's 1993 Audi 100cs Quattro Avant off the road for that 
problem and many others we were experiencing. On our transmission, it would shift 
VERY hard into third gear SOMETIMES. For the longest time (maybe 2-3 months) 
the transmission was working perfectly, as if there never was a problem. Our 
car felt the same way at a stop. It felt like it still wanted to apply driving 
force even thought there was no throttle for it. I suspected a few things on 
the transmission. The torque convertor of the pump assembly were going bad or 
there was some goofy things going on within the valve body. I have changed 
fluid, changed TCM's, adjusted the selector shaft and still the same. 

I have this car listed in the marketplace. I do not feel comfortable selling 
the car the way it is. I would rather sell it off for parts. It's a shame, 
because it was such a good reliable car for such a long time. We replaced it with 
a 1996 Audi A6 Quattro Avant. A more refined version of the 1993 100.
