Hello, I hava an Audi A4 2003 model 3.0v6 2wd CVT automatic transmission. It's shot. Can I use a non CVT trans in this car? What is involved with the conversion or is it possible?

Transmission code is GGR
Thanks!

 

I'll tell you what man this post of yours...jesus are you sure the CVT's bad (fingers crossed)? I've been trying to defend the CVT tranny and then you come with this?!?J/K But seriously did you just get this car? I only ask because in your other posts like 5 days ago you were having problems with a 1996 a4 2.8 that sounded like it was ready for retirement. I mean no offense here but are you very skilled at working on cars? I'm just saying that you may as well turn it into a Gull-wing two door convertible w/a retractable hard top amphibious water scooter. Sound pretty tough? About as tough as putting any tranny but what that car came with back into it.

Getting a replacement tranny through dealer is about $7900. Maybe you could risk getting a used one try these guys http://www.shokan.com/. Good luck man that sucks about your cars.

 

Thanks man, yeah the 03 A4 is my wifes car.. Had a run of the bad luck lately...

 

On the 2003 A4 could you give some info on what it's symptoms were? Trying to compile info on the CVT trannies for the forums.

How many miles on car when you purchased it?
How many miles on car when symptoms started occuring?
How many miles on car when tranny failed?
Had you ever had the CVT fluid changed?

I'd really appreciate your feedback. Sorry to hear that you've had a run of bad luck, hopefully it's limited to the cars because they can always be fixed.

 

They told me it was the TCM. Replaced AND RUNNIN !
115,000 miles and occured around 80,000 CVT chanded at 40,000 and 80,000.. Funny... At acted up right after fluid change..
Oh well, back on the road anyway

 

The TCM is located inside the trans on the CVT so changing the fluid can sometimes mess up the module if the fluid level isn't correct. However there is a TSB for replacing faulty modules, so glad to hear it worked out for you.

 

Glad to see that everythings worked out for you man! Thank's for responding with the info. Good luck with the Audi's, may they always be reliable from here on out...

 

Hey, I know this is an old post, but if you are still around, can you tell me how much you paid for the repair?

Thanks!
