A4ld Hooped?
Well, after a year and a half of great driving and reliability, I think my A4LD kicked the bucket...
It slips so bad in reverse that i cant move it when its warm, as well, it has difficulty shifting into 3rd as well, ance it does the RPM seem to flutter about like it wants to go back into 2nd, or it hangs onto 2nd for a long time.
The fluid is fine, and has recently had a filter and fluid change. It appears to be clear as well, it doesnt smell burnt. But it does have some froth in it.
Im wondering if its the torque converter or somthing worse. I cant really afford to do a complete re & re.
Any suggestions would be great as I need this for work and everything else.
As well, if anybody has a good A4LD about that their thinking about selling give a line, pay for shipping etc. As long as the original price is right. Perferably someone in BC, AB, or border states...
Give some replies, anything will help...

PS could this be the vaccuum regulator?

If it was the torque converter it would have problems moving in any gear.
The direct clutch is used in both revere and third gear. If you have problems with both of those most likely the direct clutch is toast.
