Default 2000 A8 with wild startup sound - have been told it's the tranny pump

Hello

Had recently posted this issue about a very bad sound on startup. Was told by all that it is a trans issue. First step was to change the fluids. I had the filter and fluids changed. No sound for a week, all was good. Now its back, no change at all. Is there any way to verify that it's the tranny pump? Any help would be very much appreciated

Thanks

Default If the fluid was very dirty, you might have change it again. The fresh fluid flashed the system

and it clogging your filter again.

Default Did you change the transmission filter or just the fluid?

It's the filter that is clogged.

Both the fluid and filer where changed. If its the trans pump what should one expect as a cost make the repair?

I have the same noise. Unfortunately, I didn't know then what I know now so I drove it for a while thinking it was something else until my mechanic could get to it. He did the fluid and filter change twice but I still have the sound. I have been told by someone else that the noice is actually just the gear on the pump and that is all I should have to replace. Does anybody have any thoughts or experience with that? Tozo are you back???
