My Audi A4 has been jerking when shifting from second to third gear and last week it actually refused to go into reverse for a few seconds which really scared me. The car has done about 120,000 km and I have never had any transmission work done on it so I am guessing this is wear and tear catching up. I took it to a garage near my place in Abu Dhabi and the guy told me the gearbox needs a rebuild which would cost a small fortune. He did not scan it properly, just took it for a short drive and gave me his verdict which I am not convinced by. I have been reading https://auditransmissionrepair.ae/audi-gear-shifting-problems-causes-fixes-abu-dhabi and it seems there are several possible causes like low fluid, a faulty solenoid or even a software issue. How do I know which one applies to my car? What should a proper diagnostic involve because I do not want to pay for a rebuild if it is something simpler. Also does anyone know a trustworthy workshop in Abu Dhabi that actually understands Audi transmissions and will not just guess? I would really appreciate any advice because I am stressed about this and cannot afford to make a costly mistake.
