HELP! Pinion bearing failure
Hey everyone-
After just 26K miles, the 5-speed in my B6 A4 Quattro is failing.
The pinion shaft bearing is making a TERRIBLE howl, even up on the rack.
I've been driving standard trans since i was 16 and can nurse a clutch to 100K+ miles. This is the work of the previous owner (should've checked it out better myself).
I don't have the know-how to get this done myself in a timely manner. HELP!
I need either a nice rebuilt unit, a NICE used 5-speed gearbox, or a reputable rebuilder in Atlanta.
Again, this is a 2003 A4 1.8T Quattro sedan, 5-speed in need of rebuild.
Any help is appreciated.

I saw 01A on the trans, but that doesn't seem to be it....
I did see 01A on the trans, but 01A seems to be a case stamping number or something similar.
The websites I'm looking at seem to show that the code should be either FPT, FNU, or FTZ.
