transmission filter kit. --what did Autohaus sent me? HELP>

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/46320/dsc06866.jpg"></center><p>Well, among "correct" cam shafts, Autohaus AZ sent me transmission filter kit 01L398009A. the filter looks correct, but the gasket looks wrong.
I will call them on Monday, but what is this for?? What should I tell them?

The package also has fallowing part numbers: 01L398009 A
See pics attached and URL.

I spoke to another guy who was reccomended on the a8 forum and he has the same number for my car. My package arrived open, Perhaps someone swapped it?
My car is a 99 a8 quatro and has a build date of 07/98

Thanks

You're golden

Hello Dennis,

Don't fret! The large gasket is for the transmission base pan, and it is correct. The filter does not have a gasket, it bolts to the bottom of the tranny inside the base pan. It does need the small o-ring when mounted (that's the in your bag as well).

Cheers,
Mike

That is a wrong gasket. The correct number is 01L398009A that you see

on the bottom label. The filter is ok.

The gasket you have will not fit on this pan.

Oops... sorry Dennis.

Oops... sorry Dennis.

The guys above are correct. I had forgotten the shape of the trans base pan.

I apologize for the confusion.

Check Paul W's link below for info on the correct filter kit.

Cheers,
Mike
