Default Wow, consider yourself 'lucky', hmmm

mine is 06/00 build, must have been a bad tranny batch uh?

My dealer said it was 'normal', wish I had a decent honorable dealer like yours.

Go Audi go.

Default speaking of trannys, dealer tells me that they have more tranny replacements than blown turbos.

Also told me to go easy from 1st to 2nd and no power shifting. There is no fun it that. I wonder if he said this because my transmission is going bad. What were your symptoms?

Default LOL..thats funny cuz my dealer is usually the one saying "its normal"..

i have complained about the transmision ever since i first got the car. what i said was that its grinding under normal conditions and if you arent gona replace now then you will be replacing later when all the teeth are missing..
also my shifting has been super notchy before and after the SS.

Default Ah the funny thing is

Some dealer in my area I talked to denied having ANY trannies replaced.

I understand their need to not to advertise Audi's dirty laundry, but flat our lying, damn!
