I have noticed a grinding noise coming from my car's transmission when shifting gears, particularly in lower gears at low speeds. The car is a 2016 Audi A4 with an S-Tronic transmission. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?
ReplyBased on your description, it sounds like your clutch may be wearing out. This is a common issue with S-Tronic transmissions and can be caused by heavy use or aggressive driving. It's best to have it checked by a certified mechanic to determine the extent of the damage and what repairs are needed.
Another possible cause for the grinding noise could be a faulty transmission mount. This is a relatively simple and inexpensive fix, but it's important to have it addressed as soon as possible to prevent any further damage to the transmission.
Make sure to check the fluid levels and condition of your transmission. Low fluid or dirty fluid can also contribute to a grinding noise. If the fluid is low, simply topping it off may solve the issue. If it's dirty, it's best to have it flushed and replaced.
