So it was 95 here today- and the car was not acting normal- nothing major (or it seems) but everything felt kinda sloppy...tranny, suspension etc... the overall "feel" of the car.

Tranny seemed to hunt for gears more, and the weird shudder when doing slow roll-on acceleration from 30mph - 40 mpg felt more noticeable.

I have no idea if the po ever changed the tranny fluid- so I think I may do a partial change, and again in a few months.

Is it just mine (98 2.8 Q) in need of some work- or do most of your cars feel more loose when it's hotter out?

(if you're reading this- is the wheels shuddering during low-speed sharp turns anything to worry about- that's always presnet- not just when it's hot- all of my searching seem to indicate it's inherent w/ quattro..)
