Hello I am new to these cars but found a local A6 with the 2.7L turbo engine with 116K miles with a slipping trans for 2600. How much is the avg to rebuild these trans?

Last month a friend of mine had the tiptronic transmission replaced in an Allroad 2.7. It was ZF certified and the work was done at an Audi dealer. The bill came to approximately $6,000. This probably sets the high end of the range for you.

Expect to pay at around $3000 for just the rebuild using a ZF certified shop. You might be able to save $1000 to $1300 by using an independent to remove and replace the tranny. (Total bill $4700 to $6000.)

How do I search for a ZF shop? I am in Chicago and can't find any recommended shops so I might pass on it. There are running ones for 4.7-6K but I heard the trans is a weak spot so wanted to start with a fresh one if possible.

A google search for ZF rebuild Vernon hills should get you there.
They normally deal through retail sources but occasionally make exceptions.
