Default thats a carson question.

I dotn think it requires removal of the gearbox, but you will need new trans fluid and a new sump seal.

Default Thats what I thought, seems pretty simple, guessing 1-2 hours?

Just wondering, I'm going to call my audi tech tuesday and ask.

If it is only 2 hours, the valve body upgrade( once I send in my core) installed is only $1000~

Default what makes you think you need the whole valve body

there are individual solenoids that run ~$200 each.

Default I'm getting a Level 10 perforamnce built valve body

I want around 300hp at least, so I need to beef up the tranny.

Torque converter is next, but that is a crapload of labor.

So does 1-2 hours sound right for the VB???

Default 3-4 is more like it

Just the reality of things, cause that is what most dealers charge....possibly more. The sump is readily accessible from underneath the car and it doesn't take all that long to remove.
