I have a 2000 2.7. I had my Torque Convertor replace at about 75k. I had the car in for a repair and on the way home from the dealer, the check engine light came on. I turned around and took it right back because it had never came on before that repair. The said that it was the convertor. The car didn't drive any different, no jerking, limp modes,or slow shift. I had a warranty so I got it fixed for $100. It was a $2550 repair and they had my car for a month. I definitly recommend changing the fluid and filter first if you are going to have to foot the whole $3000. Good Luck.

 

I'm having my torque converter replaced next week, CEL came on a couple of times over the last month and that's the code that keeps coming up. Car seemed to be running great except for the CEL and a slight "jerk" every now and then in the tranny. My tech recommended replacing the tc, thank God my extended warranty company is going to pay for it (Continental Warranty), that was the best $1500 I ever spent!

My 2003 3.0 A6 service engine light came on last week. I had it checked out at Audi and their telling me it's the torque converter and $3,000. 83,000 miles I think thats a bit odd. The trasmission has a slight jerk when it's cold in between 2nd and 3rd every once in a blue moon if that code would not have tripped I would not even notice it. Could it be something else?

 

ok im new and so im wondering what the hell os the ATF

my car jerks sometimes when i go for about 20 t0 35 miles when i step on the gas lightly.........

 

My 2004 A6 2.7T at dealer right now for tc replacement. They are telling me 24 hours labor to replace and $950 for the part. AAA warrantly is only going to cover 12 hours labor and $900 for the part. Looking at the posts in this forum it seems like it should be about 15 hours labor. Anyone have the real scoop for this repair???

Thanks,
