LOL seriously. I almost didn't post that cause i thought i'd get flamed but it looks just like a dead bat. (BLEH)

 

It's a butterfly!

 

HAHA wow, poor SOB looks like a fossil. p.s. i agree we should start a thread to get Auditech some love around here lol

 

I've posted in the moderator section about it. It's time to go higher up... Straight to the MAN. Last thing we need is for him to feel used and abused without proper recognition and chance losing him. I'm not trying to marry the guy, but he's a damn good asset to the site.

 

lol the MAN!? better be careful you might have guys in black suits showin up at your door if you keep talkin like that ;-). But seriously I'll go to bat about it if need be, keep me in the loop. I'm still a newb as far as Audi's go and that gentleman has saved me a lot of hassle without even knowing it.

 

I wish I knew more about tranny's to help you out! Good Luck though getting it back together and hopefully running.

P.S. What clutch and flywheel are you putting in it?

 

I remeber when I saw the holes first time I was also shocked and wtf??

I'll get you the tool this weekend if you can wait that long?

If not I'll stop by maybe today or tomorrow on my way to home.

 

Stock and stock. I figured BT'ing an engine with this many miles is a little late. I'll do a chip at most for now. When the time comes to rebuild is when I will go BT with supporting mods. I got a steal on the cluth and pressure plate, and can get a new stock dual mass fw for pretty cheap too. To get this car in reliable daily drivng condition will take a bit more funds and effort. I want it rolling with 0 issues by winter

ygpm!

 

wait you baught it with a tranny problem? is there actually something wrong with the tranny itself or did you just mean clutch/flywheel/pressure plate?

 

I bought it knowing the problem was most likely the clutch. I did mean "clutch/flywheel/pressure plate." A pressure plate comes with the clutch, and the flywheel is original, and cooked, so I need one of those too. Other than that these trans are pretty bullet proof.
Some people get the fw resurfaced. There is some debate on heat distribution and ballance properties that are changed after that, and since mine has 170k on it anways, I don't mind.
