[V6-12v] 95 A6 Quattro Automatic

[Klain.Henry at ic.gc.ca]

Two issues:

Has anyone experienced a mechanical rattle from their automatic transmission
when cold? Noise goes away when warmed up.

Secondly, I have developed a "flare" while the auto transmission shifts from
3rd into 4th.  Engine rpms rise between shifts, usually under light throttle
conditions.  Under fairly spirited throttle the transmission shifts fine
between 3rd and 4th.

Fluid has been changed, unfortunately with Dexron fluid although I am
planning on converting to Audi G 052 162 A@ fluid along with a filter
change.  Fluid level has been checked at 35-45 deg C and is fine.  Any
thoughts?
