What are common issues with the Audi 80's transmission system?

I have a 2002 Audi 80 and I have been noticing some strange behavior with the transmission. The gears seem to be slipping and it's making a weird noise. What could be causing this and what should I do?

Hi Samantha, it's important to first check the transmission fluid levels to see if they are low. This can often cause slipping gears and strange noises. If the fluid levels are normal, then it's possible that there could be an issue with the transmission solenoid or the clutch. It's best to take your car to a trusted mechanic for a proper diagnosis and to avoid any further damage to your transmission system.

Hello Samantha, have you noticed any strange smells coming from your transmission? Sometimes a burning smell can indicate a problem with the transmission fluid. It's also a good idea to check for any leaks in the system. If everything seems normal, then it's possible that there is an issue with the gearbox. It's best to get it checked by a professional to avoid any potential safety hazards.
