Search the S4 archives for "driveshaft" -- lots of info there

Default Hope you like loaners

Just brought mine in today with the grind problem.

When the car is revved above ~4000-4500 RPM, a pull back into 2nd gear produces a horrible grind.

Experiment with yours and see if you can pin point when it happens.

Service said the syncros are gone, and they are contacting Audi Engineering to figure whether a rebuild or replacement of the transmission is in order.


Check www.audizone.com, in January, he had the same problem.
