Hey all,
I have a 2001 4.2 liter AWD A6 that needs a transmission rebuild. Does anyone know who rebuilds them? The only place I can find is Phoenix Remanufactured Transmissions in AZ. But I am in NH and there must be someone closer. I'd even be ok with finding a low mileage unit from a junkyard, but they seem extremely hard to come by. $4800 for one with 66k miles.... I wanna get this thing running and it's the only thing holding me back. Thanks a lot!

 

How many miles were on the odometer when it failed? What is the nature of the failure? Won't go into gear? Shuddering? Hesitation? What were the symptoms before it failed? Could be you just need a new valve body. Those run around $1500 bones and then shop labor to replace.

 

Unfortunately its not that simple. It had a bad TCU which caused the internal clutches to wear.The best way to describe it is that it was beingdriven around with the transmission thinking it was in 1st and reverse. It only has 27k miles on it but it definitely needs a full rebuild. It barely moves forward, and won't go reverse at all. Good thinking though.
