first my car wouldnt shift into 3rd today (A4 trans), then i started it after it was sitting for awhile, and it wouldnt even shift to second, it just revs up like neutral. i put it in second gear on the gear selection, and drove it home at 3.5k rpms going 40mph. here are some of my speculations as to what is wrong:
1. I put sea foam in my car about 10 days ago into the vacuum hose and the rest into the gas tank (which was probably 2 ounces at most)
2. I changed transmission fluid and filter about 1 month and a half ago. right after i did this, it seemed like when i was going about 35mph and hit the gas, it would rev up more than it was supposed to before it shifted (almost like it was in neutral for a second, but it would shift before i got too high in the rpms). well it did this for a week or two, and it either stopped or i got used to it. And yesterday and earlier today, i noticed it was doing the same thing except worse, it would rev higher and then kind of jolt you when it shifted. also, the trans fluid might have been a little low b/c i didnt measure it and there isnt really a way to tell. (i put another quart of fluid in and no difference)
