If you dont mod your car or know how to work on your car you should not own a audi period end of story unless you have money and than i doubt you would be driving a b5 this is the truth and its hard to take do a manual swap or pay a **** load of money on a car that doesnt hold it's value very well

I have a strong feeling,it's your TCM (Transmission control module)buy another one,replace it with the one you already have and see if that fixed the problem.

I plan on buying a another TCM also,soon as i can get my hands on one.

This is the most dumbest statement i've seen on audiforums,what a ******* moron! idiot,if your not going to contribute to the thread by giving suggestions,then don't post on my thread!

First off,i don't even know what's wrong with it yet,so how can i fix it,smart ***? I'm in the process of trouble shooting,so i can fix it. I'm sure that 99.9%of users on Audiforms come here for this very thing,to get help with diagnosing their B5's and modding them. So you to come on my thread,making an ******* statement on why i shouldn't have a audi,according to you"i don't know how to work on it".

How the hell do you know i don't know how to work on it? you don't know anything about me,i see plenty of users asking questions about a issue that is going on with their B5's and i don't see any ******** like you,responding about weither or not they should have it or can work on simply because they are asking a question about what it might be.

Do yourself a favor, go troll on vwvortex,we don't need that **** here on Audiforums. we are here to actually help each other and not talk **** to someone who asks for suggestions and solutions to our B5's.

end rant...back to our regularly scheduled program
