2nd gear synchro

My 2nd gear sychro is failing. I have a 2000 ttc 180 fwd. I'm about 10 months out of warranty and around 56000 miles. Any ideas? I know there was a problem with these. I'm seeing it with VW and Audi.

Good news is that the new trannies are relatively inexpensive.

Or better yet, go with a Quaife 6 speed. Look in back of European Car Magazine for vendors.

Look for a 5 to 6 speed quattro swap on Marcus's car in the coming months!

Hey Steve, I know that's a great deal but any idea how much they cost from Audi?

Re: 2nd gear synchro

Have you tried switching the transmission oil ?
Dont let dealer do it , go out and by yourself some good 70W95 oil and put it on. Fixed problem on my TT
