THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS VIOLENTLY BETWEEN 2 ND AND 3 RD GEAR. THERE WAS A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER WITH THE PEDAL DOWN COMPLETELY. AFTER RESEARCH HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THE DESIGN OF THESE TRIPTONIC TRANSMISSIONS WHICH CAN BE SWITCHED FROM MANUAL TO AUTOMATIC ARE FAULTY AND COSTLY TO REPAIR. I AM CONSIDERING A VALVE BODY REPLACEMENT WHICH MAY OR MAY NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. AUDI DOES NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG AUDI OWNERS. *TR

04V007000 · Power Train:clutch Assembly

Jan 6, 2004

ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES WITH DIRECT SHIFT GEARBOX, DURING THE PRODUCTION OF THE GEARBOX, A SEAM AT THE CLUTCH WAS NOT WELDED TO SPECIFICATIONS. THIS COULD LEAD TO DEGRADED PERFORMANCE OF THE CLUTCH INSIDE THE GEARBOX.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: THE CLUTCH COULD LOSE ITS ABILITY TO PROVIDE INPUT TORQUE TO THE TRANSMISSION WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING, WHICH COULD ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO ROLL, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE CLUTCH. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN ON APRIL 30, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT AUDI AT 1-800-822-2834.
