  • Where did 3rd gear go?

    My auto shifts outta 2nd at about 34mph and into 4th at 37mph. is this the computer adapting to my driving habits? i cant remember it doing this when i first purchased the car. (i got it used in 2000)

    Not sure about it learning you driving habits, how many miles are on it?

          It probably isn't shifting into 4th, what is mostlikely happening is the same thing my A4 does. At about 35-37 mph, the tork converter locks up in third gear which causes the RPMs to be low. At about 45-47 mph is when is will shift into 4th. watch your tach, and go from 38mph up to 50mph and I'm sure you'll see the RPMs drop again. It gets a little annoying it always shifting into low RPMs, but I believe it is normal for the A4. Hope this helps
