lately, my a-4 won't engage in reverse smoothly. sometimes it takes a few seconds othertimes it won't engage until 2k rpm, and then slams into gear.
drive is fine. any suggestions as what to look for?
rebuillt the tranny about 15k miles ago.

in addition, when its shifting, there is a faint noise that sounds like a rod knocking. does not happen when reveving the engine, only when shifting gears, around town.

fluid levels are good...
