Did it say synthetic ATF is recommended ?

CalG

Yes, a quality TC and synthetic ATF

That's the fix according to this article.

Your experience may vary.

I would say it's spot on. The graphs are very interesting, you can see the total different control logic in the last one as compared to the first one.....it was operating correctly in the last one.

CalG

Perhaps our mixed results reports after TC replacement is due to fluid and quality issues.

From the cause analysis point of view, We could expect similar improvement with respect to the "hunt" condition as well.

Maybe it wears out and doesn't get replaced....and part of the key was getting a proper clutch lining, "stickiness" of material and thickness or "proper clearances".

Just finished the job this morning. I still smell like transmission fluid.. FWIW, the local Audi dealer (Nalley in Roswell, Ga.) wanted over $250 for the filter and gasket. Thanks to Carson @ Riverside Audi, I got everything for a little over $100.

I want to understand, but I'm not transmission savy - oh, and CalG mentioned a TC. Are these the same thing?

If you want to see/try and understand how this works, click the FAQ in my sig and look under transmission.
