Default Tranny is fixed. I could have hurt.

As some of you may know, I had a mystery tranny failure that required total replacement. We may never know just what went wrong.

Picked the car up today and it runs great. It should, the repair was a few hundred shy of 10,000.00. Yup, I'll be getting the extended warranty.

Thank god that it was totally covered.

Default

it's very pricey through the dealer for a tranny replacement.

Default have a patient works for AAMCO- says audi quattros are most expensive to replace-

said he had a wierd one, an a4 tip tranny in his words "exploded". He told me the cost but I forgot, only it was very expensive.

Very true. There are alternative paths if one were paying out of pocket. ;-)

Default Same thing happened to me after 120 miles. Got a new tranny drove it for 5K mile..

while I was waiting for the new one my dealer ordered for me. Great dealer! I told them I was not comfortable with a new car needing a major fix at 100 miles. They just asked me what I wanted and ordered it. Used the first one until the second AR got aff the boat!
No problems with the second AR at 14k miles except for my lust of more mods!

Carrera moters in Bend Oregon!

Ciao
