Default What is the history...

Whats the story on your transmission. Was the oil or filer changed recently?

Seem like if you touch an A8 transmission, change the oil, filer or do anything to an Early HP5-24 it fails soon after.

Consider selling it on EBAY. Disclose the problem. Someone might buy it as is. My 1999 sold on Ebay to a guy who owned a transmission shop for 6.7k.

Default or part it.. what year etc and any extras? wheels tires etc.. you might make out better

or soak the 2700 and get it rebuilt so it will drive like new.. I have been happy with mine since the rebuild

Default don't go to the dealer or amcco. got to a indy who works on zf trannies.

make sure price includes rebuilt torq convertor also and all fluids. 2700-3000 is about avg
