Audi A4 Axle Problem
Dear car experts,
Something strange happend to me and my audi a4b5 yesterday. I was waiting behind a few cars at a stoplight, and as I was trying to exallerate from first gear, a "cunk" sound came from the front of the car. It didnt make the same sound like it does when it stalls. My heart was pounding, but when I turned the car off and on again to move on, everything worked just fine...The gears even feel like they go in easier...I can also move between gears while the car is off and parked. I havent tried it while driving yet...It is a manual quattro. Do you have an idea of what happened here?
Thank you very much for any assistance,
Ines Wolf

It could be a bad axle or a transmission problem. First you should attend to it immediately as it could pose a safety issue. I am giving you a walk through diagnostic that covers most of the safety issues. If the all checks out take the car to a trsnmission repair shop for diagnosis.
Here is the link to the diagnostic;
