What is the common issue with the 1992 Audi 80 transmission?

I recently purchased a 1992 Audi 80 and have noticed some odd shifting behavior with the transmission. It seems to hesitate or jerk when changing gears. Has anyone else experienced this and know what the issue could be?

The most common issue with the transmission on the 1992 Audi 80 is a faulty torque converter. This can cause hesitation and jerking during gear changes. It's important to have a professional mechanic diagnose and replace the torque converter if necessary.

Another potential issue could be low transmission fluid levels. Check the fluid level and condition, and top off or replace as needed. This should improve the shifting behavior.

I had a similar issue with my 1992 Audi 80 and it turned out to be a worn transmission solenoid. This is a relatively easy and inexpensive fix if that's the problem.
