After talking to a fellow Filipino, a Euro Car Expert Tech residing in the US, I regained my hopes in fixing the car. The tech said he can't believe the transmission needs replacement at 31200 miles. He insisted that the fluid must be flushed and replaced. AUDI PGA, the official dealer in the Philippines said there is no other option but to replace the transmission assembly (at $19,000!!!) because the transmission fluid is still in great condition. Filipino tech in the US told me he does not believe what PGA said and insisted that I have the ATF flushed and replaced. I went to the former AUDI dealer AUTO PROMINENCE, they recommended flushing the fluid properly. They showed me the flushed fluid from the A4, and it's very dark compared to the new fluid. After putting the new fluid, we made a test drive. The judder was eliminated. I drove my car again for a few more rounds to check if the juddering's totally eliminated and THANK GOD- NO MORE JUDDERING at gear shift!

It's just so sad that the official AUDI dealer in the Philippines is totally unreliable and incompetent! I'm so glad that AUtO PROMINENCE is still capable of servicing Audi cars. :-)
