Possible Transmission Problem?
Hello all. I am new to this forum but not new to audis. I have a 1999 A8 Quattro and a 2001 S4 6sp. My question for a problem that has gotten worse in my A8. What happens is I am driving around town in drive at 35 - 50 MPH and the transmission will hunt between 4th and 5th gear up and down. The RPMs of the engine will surge and fall with this and it feels like the car is running rough. If I punch the throttle the transmission kicks down and the car accelerates fine. But if I lay off and drive leisurely in Drive, the transmission will continue to do this surging up and down. I am just out of warranty thru Audi Assured by two weeks. The problem was there for some time but has gotten more noticeable lately. Does anyone have any ideas? I am in Riverdale, NJ. Thanks.

Hi John! This particular forum deals with 2004 A8s and newer.
Even though many of us have complaints about our trannys, the D2 forum will fix you up in a jiffy. Good luck and welcome!!

Yikes...hope you mentioned this on prior service calls...
visit the D2 board. It's a very common issue/problem. I had the problem on my '99D2 and had the transmission replaced with some Audi "assistance" but was just over 50K warranty/MA but I had mentioned minor issues with it in prior service visits/events.
