Sounds like your tranny has started to take a dump. Sorry to here this
but this is very common with the A4

How have the temps of the tranny been? Heat kills them...has it been run hard in its 75K life? Drag raccing, burn outs etc...also are you making stock HP or have you introduced more HP then it was rated for? A lot of these factors come in to play with the A4...I have 70K on my A4 in my 97 and it still runs strong...but I have not given it any reason not too... (YET!)

if its making a banging noise, it does not sound good...slipping is one thing, but loud noises from it are not a good indication...

Talk to Crashed94 (forum member) he has several levels of tranny's built to take what ever you throw at it...I will go this route when I do my head and cam install...

Good luck, sorry to hear about your troubles
