Default '01 S8 52k No reverse

I lost reverse last week and my head is spinning trying to sort this out. I understand that it is an F seal at the root of the problem. I live in Charlotte, NC and can only find 1 shop with ZF experience. He will only do a rebuild and gave me an estimate of $ 3500 without seeing the car. Then again he isn't sure which model ZF I have. Can someone help me with the model number and any other specifics they can think of? I have been searching the threads but I think I am suffering from information overload.
Thanks
- Nick

The only way to fix it if you have it rebuilt.

Default Usually there is no warning, it just fails. Left is a blown F piston.

Default It's a defective part. Mostly 00'-01' A8 and A6 4.2.

I've seen/heard only one pre facelift clutch F failure.

Default Re: Model Number 5HP24A

Thanks Paul. I'm going to a guy with ZF experience who is recommended by someone that was recommended by someone who was recommended by someone else. I sure hope this works.
