Default What if your automatic tranny goes?
Is paying the $4500 from Audi the only way? Is there a cheaper route to go?

Default If you could find one, those are rare.
Best option is the parts/junk yard.

Default Well, be glad you don't own a Mitsu.. I went through 3 trannys in 80k.
And they arn't much cheaper. Glad I had a warranty.

Default Tranny isn't going to get unless you do things to make it go
Chipping the car and throwing on an exhaust shouldnt cause the tranny to go. A couple of people have had problems, but I never heard the fully story, so I can'tcommnet further.

There's alaways parts yards for getting a used tranny.

Re: RS2? Is that A4 1.8t tiptronic tranny? The code doesnt seem right. I heard they're about $8k.

Default RS2 was a limited production car, the tranny from it bolts straight up to the 1.8T
and it's a tranny speced for much much more power as the RS2 had a lot more than the 1.8T does from the factory.
