sheesh,that Audi stealership must have a bunch of bums working there,they only charged me 10.00 for the 2009 A4.

I am thinking about rebuilding the tranny,i was quoted,somwhere around 1,500-1,700.00 or so,the guys that rebuilds trannies,said he'd have to open it up and look at the damage,to see how much it will cost.

I rather have the price it woud cost to rebuilt,the whole tranny and not only the defective/broken parts to be replaced.

He wants me to call him monday,he has 3 trannnies to rebuild by monday,so i guess i'll know his price,only after he has Audina's heart on a bench for surgery.

I'm from NY, and I can tell you, I usually find parts at LKQ (www.lkqcorp.com) and Hunt's Point, there's also a location in Milford.

As far your oil question, maybe this link can help...http://forums.audiworld.com/showthread.php?t=343602
Well,the problem with buying used trannies are this,i don't want a high milege tranny as a replacement,i would consider a low milege tranny,though.

Shokan has one at 58.000 miles for 1275.00,you don't think thats a cheap price for the milege? if i can get a used tranny,with low milege at this place in Hartford or milford connecticut for a decent price,i'll go for it but i keep running into high milege trannies and i don't even know if the tranny has been damaged in a accident or not.

I am thinking of a rebuild but i am not sure,i need to know how much the guy is going to charge me first. Rebuilding is always better than replacing,being i know what i got in there,while i won't with a tranny i pull from a junk yard,yeah it's more expensive but i'd have piece of mind,knowing i won't have another tranny issue for another 100.000 miles.

Phil dude honda is cheap to own and "modified" and 95% of people who own one they still relly on mom and dad walet or from the $8/h job they have to pay the parole officer or child support so u see why honda is the car of choice for so many people
