1991 Audi 100 has trouble in reverse when warm?

My 1991 Audi 100 is a joy to drive... Unless it's warmed up and you want to go into reverse. We need to sell this car as my husband lost his job, but people are either scared away by the dreaded "transmission problem *gasp*" or they think they're going to get it for peanuts. Does anyone know what the problem is/might be?1991 Audi 100 has trouble in reverse when warm?You have a transmission fluid pump for the reverse gear and a 2nd one for all forward gears. Something is wrong with the pump. Your transmission problem could be the result of neglect if you haven't been flushing your fluid at least every 40,000 miles. Flushing the transmission now may fix the problem, it may make it worse, or it might not make any change at all.



The first step is to find out that your transmission fluid level is correct by checking the dipstick with engine at operating temperature while idling in Park. DO NOT OVERFILL.





NOTE: your fluid doesn't get thin when it gets old, it gets THICK and dark due to contamination. The darker it is, the longer it's been siting there.1991 Audi 100 has trouble in reverse when warm?sounds like the transmission oil needs replacing,it,s getting a bit too thin1991 Audi 100 has trouble in reverse when warm?ok well i would say your transmission is starting to go bad this is what happened with my buick but they sell this stuff its lucas transmision something or other and it helped my car alot, it went good for about 5 or 6 months after but if you want to sell it maybe put some of that lucas stuff in there i dont agree with ppl being dis honest about cars but i know ppl do1991 Audi 100 has trouble in reverse when warm?
well your talking about a 17 year old car they should expect a couple of issues.

tell the new buyer that the car has/or will have trans issues (being strightforward is the best option here)and adding new fluid/filter and cleaning the valvebody may help

and sell the car

AS-IS/no warrenty

you could sell it as a driveable car that is great for parts etc... with a slight problem when going into reverse but it has a great engine, int, body, etc

goodluck
