FOR A PROBLEM WITH YOUR TRANSMISSION, COMMON PROBLEM WITH THAT TRANSMISSION IS IN THE TORQUE CONVERTER. THIS HAS TO BE CHECKED BY AN AUDI SPECIALIST TO DETEMINE CORRECT PROCESS FOR REPAIR.

TRY TO CHANGE YOUR COMPUTER FOR THE TRANSMISSION SINCE IT IS SOMETIMES GOT DEFECTIVE. I WAS HAVING A PROBLEM WITH MY 2001 A8L FOR GEAR SHIFTING AND ALL THE LIGHT ON CLUSTER FOR (P-R-N-D-4-3-2) ILLUMINATES AND IN IT IS MOVING VERY SLOW ON FIRST GEAR OR NOT HAVING FORCE TO MOVE ON MOST ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU STOP IN TRAFFIC SIGNAL AND MOVES LIKES A TURTLE THEN AFTER FEW METERS GOES NORMAL RUNNING. TAKE NOTE THAT THIS IS AN AUTOMATIC TIPTRONICS GEAR SYSTEM AND WHEN I TRIED TO ENGAGE LEVER ON MANUAL POSITION SHIFTING, AS YOU CAN SEE ON CLUSTER IT INDICATES ONLY ON THE FOURTH GEAR AND DOES NOT CHANGE TO OTHER GEARS LIKE 3,2,OR 1. FOR ME THIS IS GREAT EXPERIENCE AND ACCIDENTALLY IT WORKS ON THIS WAY BY MY OWN ANALYSIS SINCE TORQUE CONVERTER IS MANDATED BY THE TRANSMISSION COMPUTER. TRY THIS TO YOUR CAR AND MAYBE IT WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM AND ALSO TO MINIMIZE EXPENSES. MINE, I GOT ONLY THE SECOND HAND USED TRANSMISSION COMPUTER AND IT CAN EASILY BE REPLACED AND NO NEED TO CALL A TECHNICIAN. LOCATION FOR THIS COMPUTER TO CHANGE IF NOT YET FAMILIAR IS JUST OPEN THE BONNET OF THE ENGINE AND IT IS OPPOSITE TO THE PASSENGER SIDE LOCATED AT THE EXTREME CORNER THERE IS PLASTIC COVER TO OPEN,THEN BOTH THE ENGINE COMPUTER AND TRANSMISSION COMPUTER ARE PLACED TOGETHER AND FOR THE TRANSMISSION COMPUTER IS ON THE INNER PORTION MOUNTED HORIZONTALLY WITH SEPARATE BRACKET AND UNSCREW THAT TO REMOVE EASILY THEN UNPLUG FROM THEN CABLE CONNECTOR, TRY TO CHECK THE SERIAL NUMBER AND MATCH IT TO YOUR CAR AS IT DIFFERS TO EACH MODEL.

I have the same problem,on my '99 A8 and it appears that one time on a transmission fluid flush, the non-Audi garage used a non conforming transmission fluid, which I have been told has probably compromised the torque converter sensor, resulting in up/down miss shifts in the 40-60 mph range. Might also be related to faulty Overdrive chip.
