How to fix mechanical issues with Audi 80 transmission?

I've recently noticed some issues with my Audi 80's transmission, such as jerking when shifting gears and difficulty in engaging gears. What could be causing this problem and how can I fix it?

It sounds like your transmission may be low on fluid or have dirty, old fluid. I recommend checking your fluid levels and if they are low, topping up with the appropriate transmission fluid. It may also be beneficial to have a transmission flush and fluid change if your fluid is dirty or old.

If your transmission is having shifting issues, it could also be due to worn or damaged transmission components such as the shift solenoid or clutch. I suggest taking your Audi 80 to a trusted mechanic for a diagnostic test to pinpoint the exact issue and make the necessary repairs.

One potential cause of jerking when shifting gears could be a faulty transmission control module. This is a common issue in older Audi 80 models and may require replacement to resolve the problem. I recommend consulting with a certified technician for the best course of action.
