How to troubleshoot a faulty transmission in an Audi 80?

My Audi 80's transmission seems to be malfunctioning. It's not shifting gears smoothly and I can hear strange noises when driving. What could be causing this issue and how can I fix it?

Hi Sarah, a faulty transmission can be caused by several factors such as low transmission fluid, worn out gears, or a faulty torque converter. The first thing you should do is check the transmission fluid level and make sure it's at the correct level. If it's low, top it up and see if the issue persists. If not, it's best to take your car to a certified mechanic for a proper diagnosis and repair.

Hi Sarah, I had a similar issue with my Audi 80 before. In my case, it was a faulty torque converter that needed to be replaced. I would recommend taking your car to a trusted mechanic and have them check the torque converter. It's better to fix the issue early before it causes more damage to your transmission.

Hi Sarah, another thing you can do is check for any error codes on your car's onboard computer system. This can give you a better understanding of what's causing the issue and help you narrow down the possible solutions. If you're not familiar with checking error codes, it's best to take your car to a professional mechanic for assistance.
