Default Lightning struck: No reverse. 13,767 miles.

First off, I just want to take this opportunity to say F#@K!

Its not so much the problem that pisses me off, but the timing. I am supposed to be on my way to Blackhawk Farms this afternoon for my first Audi Club track event.

Perhaps I will track the loaner? j/k

Anyway, the trans is being removed as I type this and as long as one of the bearings hasn't fallen out and into the trans, they say I should be on my way and will only lose a coupla hours. Its the other "if" that I'm worried about... trans replacement. Anyone know what percentage of "no reverse" problems have required a trans replacement?

Also having the other manifold bolt torque TSB checked as well... and what the hell, gimme a brake fluid flush while you're at it.

I'm gonna be crushed if I miss this event.
Wish me luck.

Default Yeah...

I will definitely bring the Chevy over there if I have to skip Blackhawk. They have a pretty cool vintage car show...

I want to drive though dammit!

Default No... but the potential for greater damage is there.

Especially if something is floating around in there. Believe me, I already thought of this.
