What is the most common issue with the Audi A4 transmission?

I have noticed some hesitation and jerking when shifting gears in my Audi A4. Is this a common issue and how can I fix it?

One of the most common issues with Audi A4 transmission is the mechatronic unit failing. This can cause hesitation, jerking and even complete transmission failure. I suggest taking your car to a certified Audi mechanic to have the mechatronic unit replaced.

Another possibility is a clogged transmission filter, which can cause similar issues. You can try having the filter replaced first and see if that fixes the problem. If not, then it is most likely the mechatronic unit.

Make sure to also check the transmission fluid levels. Low or dirty transmission fluid can also cause shifting issues. If the fluid is low, top it off and monitor it for the next few days to see if the problem persists.
