another one bites the dust...tranny
Just got the "call" from my wife...tranny is toast.
It went without any warning. High revs, lots of noise into limp mode in about 3 miles while I was on the phone with her.
So.. I have the rebuilt one from my old car in the garage. I was planning on bringing up to ZF and have it bench tested.
Gabor, any chance your coming to the S-Fest in a couple of weeks?

Looks like you will have a busy weekend. You will need this setup for the exhaust down pipe.

Just another reason to leave the tranny alone, fluid and all... read previous thoughts on this...
Sorry, I know what it feels like... Good luck with the swap! See the thread where this is discussed, there are other threads as well...<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a8/msgs/160464.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/a8/msgs/160464.phtml</a</li></ul>

Sorry chum, didn't know he had 160k on the clock at the time of the post.
I saw 2000 m.y. and a busted tranny. 160k is not good on a premium vehicle IMHO, maybe someday ZF will get it right.
