Thousands served...few satisfied.
google them for more info that you'd ever want to know.
I *might* buy from them if I could go pick it up in person and inspect the part. Still, you'd probably just get a used trans and not a rebuilt one.<ul><li><a href="http://www.ripoffreport.com/searchresults.asp?q1=ALL&q5=&q4=Phoenix+Ha rd+Parts&q6=&q3=&q2=&q7=&searc htype=0&submit2=Search%21">interesting info</a></li></ul>

Click my sig FAQ
And look for "hunting and thumping" under transmission. CalG posted other problems.
It's staying in one gear, but feels like it is shifting. You're screwed, live with it.
That's why I have a S8 now. My 97 was getting old and I couldn't live with it any longer.

I found tons of things....but I have not found the fix
What is the actual fix? A new tranny? A new valve body? I am willing to spend up to a couple thousand on this problem, just need to know were to go

Sell the car, buy a facelift car
That's probably the cheapest and most reliable fix.
I have not ever heard of anybody fixing the hunt to date on a pre facelift car.
The facelift cars have not reported the problem as of yet. They are newer, but plenty with over 100K miles (or I should say most over 100K miles). They have drive by wire and transmissions with later design changes incorported.

Then may I introduce myself as the first person...
with a pre-facelift car to have the "hunt" fixed!
My transmission shifts perfectly after having it rebuilt. Dealing with the shop was an absolute nightmare and I could not have been more disappointed with the service that I received, but in the end it seems to work.
@ PaulW - Are you simply saying you have yet to hear of someone fix JUST the hunt on a pre-facelift car? Or are you saying even after people are getting full rebuilds, it's still there?
Thanks!
