Why is Your 1985 4000’s Transmission So Important?

Your transmission carries power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive at the speed you desire. Because your transmission is responsible for converting the right amount of power into the right amount of speed, a tiny transmission issue can take a major toll on your car’s performance. Such problems aren’t hard to spot. Audi 4000 transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, jumping or grinding during acceleration, the car shaking on the road, or whistling noises or a burning smell coming from beneath the hood. If you don’t pay attention to Audi 4000 transmission trouble you could see your fuel economy decrease or discover that your 4000’s not even driveable.

1985 Audi 4000 Questions & Answers

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Audi? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Audi 4000? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small. Defying your 4000 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.
  • When should I have my 4000's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your Audi 4000’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Audi's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can my Audi 4000 leak transmission fluid? Yes, your Audi 4000 can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your 4000 ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues.
