Re: A8 transmission failure
Whew! And to think I was toying with the idea of replacing my old 100 with a
97 A8! It only costs $900 to rebuild the 100's slushbox....

Re: A8 transmission failure
Bullshit. Try to find a good used differential on a really old car.

Re: 100 transmission failure
I'm not sure of your meaning, JP. Do you mean it's hard to find, or I should
try to find one rather than rebuild?
I don't need it yet, but some day I will. Reverse is reluctant to engage
when the tranny is hot. All forward gears are OK.

Re: 100 transmission failure
Old type 44 transmissions are cheap and easy. The differentials they
bolt to are always neglected, always shot, and unavailable as "good
used."
If you have a good diff now, treat it with care.
Almost every old 3-speed Audi box I've done over the years required
diff work.

Re: 100 transmission failure
Oh, thanks for the clarification. I do have a good diff, and intend to keep
it that way. I had the recall done on the diff lube as soon as it came out,
and my mechanic checks it each time he changes the tranny fluid. This car is
pampered!
