Auto Slipping

Post by payaya »

Hey all what causes a slipping of 2nd to 3rd gear when the gearbox is cold? Eg. During first change from 2nd to 3rd after a long stationary period, say overnight?

Seems to do it less if in tiptronic?

Shift after the first couple 2nd to 3rd shift becomes smooth?

thanks

On top of the transmission the grey one. Discovered the fix by accident. I bascially filled a little jar with electrical contact cleaner, dunked the connector in the cleaner for about 10 mine and no sh*t the jay was black by the end of it. So much sh*t gets in there, due to the location it is in.
