View Full Version : Selecting Reverse issues

Folks, after driving somewhere and when trying to reverse park, the car has lately started to play up when reverse is selected. It is as if it takes a mili second or so to engage reverse and as it does it revs up and jerks. I feel that if I'm not holding the brake pedal down firmly it might even move backwards quickly.

Is this a sign of an impeding transmission issue? Will a transmission flush help? Any other suggestions?

Car is a TF sports with 174k on the clock. Has been serviced on the dot every 7.5k as per the handbook. Transmission is triptronic.

Thanks

sounds like it might want a change of transmission fluid.

if its flaring before picking the gear up it might be a sign that the transmission might be starting to let go - reverse is always the first to go.

tranny flush will prolly fix it i think :)
