Converter Replacement qustions
 

Greetings everybody,

I recently have noticed a few codes, and O2 sensor bank 2, sensor 2 and a P0741 :( I have a few questions regarding doing this project.

I have had swapped out plenty of Chevy transmissions, mostly the 700r4's...not fun.

I am looking at the Audi A6 2.7t Quattro and removing my TIP transmission and wondering if I need any special tools for removal of the transmission. I assume that I should probably have a trans jack or attachment for a trans adapter to my floor jack.

Jack stands and ramps. I plan on removing and replacing my CV joints while I'm at it, & my drivers side O2 sensors since they are a PITA to remove & maybe doing my oil seals on my turbo's...maybe on that one. I am burning oil too :( ( no leaks and good compression). Maybe .....we will see.

Will I need any special tools or gaskets such as the thrust ring and the washer I see on the online manual? I've never had to replace such items on my 700r4...and I know that the TIP transmission is different, hence why I'm asking ;)

also, when you seat the converter, it is a double click as my 700r4's so it seats on the 2 sets of splines? Is there a designated depth from the bell housing to where the converter is seated? I think I found 10mm from the housing to the front of the converter?

Access to the bolts that hold the transmission on to the engine block? Any special locations, tricks or tools?
Also, removal of the rear driveline. Does that require any special tools or know how? I looked under the car and it's completely covered by some heat shields. I'm just not all that familiar with the Audi's and I want to prepare to avoid any problems.

Thank you!
