Audi Porsche Manual Transmission Fluid - Genuine Audi G055532A2

Product Information

Manual transmission fluid is a specialized lubricant used in a manual gearbox to facilitate smooth gear shifting by reducing friction between the moving parts; when it fails, common symptoms include difficulty shifting gears, gear slipping, grinding noises, rough shifting, fluid leaks, and a burning smell, often indicating excessive wear or contamination within the transmission.

• Difficult shifting: Gears may feel hard to engage or require excessive force to shift
• Gear slipping: The engine RPMs increase without the car accelerating properly, indicating the gears are not fully engaging
• Grinding noises: A grinding sound when shifting gears, often a sign of excessive wear on gear teeth

About Genuine Audi

The original parts used by Audi to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine Audi” brand. Manufactured under the direction of Audi, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are available exclusively through the Audi Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your Audi are not necessarily manufactured by Audi. No cause for concern, as Audi designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for Audi for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine Audi parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of an Audi logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
