sloopjohn,
doesn't the S6 have a 5HP24A? and not a 5HP19? just checking I thought it did but I could be completely wrong I thought thought eh B5 S4 had a 5hp19 and the S6 had the 5HP24 and the S8 had the 5hp24 also.

Eh, bunch of trans out there…I just entered 03S6 into
http://www.zf.com/media/media/docume...sa_4/5HP24.pdf
Shows BMW, Jag, Landrover and strange fill plug on side of trans.
AFAIK the drain and fill plugs on my S6 trans are on the bottom.
Too bad our Audis drain and fill from the bottom. Side fill to a given level is so much easier.
eBahn says 5HP24, but initial fill still 9.8L and refill 3.8-4.0L.

Yep the fill is on the pan, I was just under it a bit ago, pan gasket is leaking (Im guessing this has been an issue because it has at least 2 kinds of bolts holding the pan on for some reason), and if I'm correct that the center Diff is directly behind the transmission, it is leaking too, and at least one rear outboard cv needs grease and a new clamp at a minimum and maybe a rebuilt. Other than that the under side of the car looks great!
You can see pics etc in my other thread just below this one

SloopyJohn, I had thought about doing a fluid change and then doing it again in 5 to 10K... but my TC is acting up currently, I'm REALLY hoping I have a seal or something that is leaking, I'm going to get under it tonight and poke around, so I'm hoping it is just low on fluid and causing the TC issue (doesn't seem to be releasing when I come to a stop the engine RPMs drop to about 750 and you can feel the engine straining against the brakes). If the fluid is low and the fluid change "fixes" the TC issues then i will do a fluid change again in a few thousand miles for sure. If the TC issues persist, then I will be shopping for parts to do a 6MT swap

I have read some people say they specifically picked up the rubber gasket for the pan due to leaking, it is all of $4 at Napa, is this a good idea? What about using some high temp Rtv or form a gasket type sealant also? What about lock tite on the pan bolts?
