Default A4 problems

I Am wanting to know if anybody on the forum & i am sure theres plenty who have made the switch over to an upgraded trans Do they sell an upgraded rebuild kit that i could do my self it sure would save me alot of money .My trans is acting up i hope its just low on fluid but when it goes from a 1st to 2nd shift u have to take your foot off the gas before it will shift .The rest of the time 3rd & 4th shifts seem fine .It will sometimes if your in 1st gear & your around 15mph when you shift the car to 2nd it will rev up to around 3 gran before it shifts.If you leave it in overdrive & let it shift on its own when 1st winds out like i said before u have to take your foot off the gas a little before it will shift .Is it goin south on me or does it sound like i am in need of some trans fluid ? Maybe a little of both i was hoping artcarr would have a master rebuild kit for it .Then i would just buy the kit & have my trans guy rebuild it for me .Any thoughts on what this might be? all replies are very much appreciated btw if i was to buy another used a4 will a 01,02,03,04, A4 fit in my 00

seems like most of the vendors want about 2 grand for a brutal trans something that will take my daily beating @ the dragstrip Or i could just buy a used one & see how long that one will give heres my conclusion to why its slipping after putting the gears & 3200 yank about 15000 miles ago i never went & had the edit done then i put LS6 intake & stage 2 heads from patriot & lg tube headers still no tune maybe i am wrong ive been wrong before so i think i will buy a used 1 500 dollars vs 2,000 looks alot better for me right now .Soon as iget it i will install the transgo & head to futural motorsports to have a tune done on it :steering:

oh my,, spent the extra,, get the rebuilt one, pay a little extra,,I have been in this situation with other cars and it always pays to put in a stronger trans...unless you absolutley cannot afford it,, I know how that feels also....

It looks like you have about $5000 in mods with no tuning, take your car to a tuner. the $500 dollar tune may fix your problem.
