What is the reason for the lack of power in the reverse gear of an Audi A6 automatic transmission?

Reverse gear itself is relatively slow, but excluding this factor, it is likely that there is a transmission malfunction. Internal transmission faults: Worn transmission main shaft, worn or burnt friction plates, and faulty pressure valves. Transmission fluid: Caused by insufficient transmission fluid or deteriorated transmission fluid. Solutions: Inspect the transmission or replace the transmission fluid. Transmission noise: If it is bearing noise, it is generally closely related to the rotation speed—the higher the speed, the louder the noise. If it is differential or main drive gear noise, this type of noise usually becomes noticeable at speeds of 50–70 km/h, as the gear meshing surfaces differ. It is generally more pronounced when accelerating and significantly reduces when the throttle is released. Failure to engage gear: This phenomenon may occur when the oil pressure solenoid valve malfunctions, causing the automatic transmission to enter limp mode, forcing it to operate in third gear. This fault is related to pressure regulation and requires timely inspection at a repair shop. First, replace the transmission fluid. If the transmission still locks in third gear after fluid replacement, the solenoid valve needs to be replaced.
