A4 transmission

[Grant Lenahan]

Before we jump to any conclusions, i think we need to ID what's going on...

1. did something change? (no = dont worry, yes = investigate)
2. is it slow to enter a specific gear? (syncro)
3. Or balky on a specific throw (linkage)

Historically Audi trannies are very durable.
