i have a 2003 a4 3.0 with 117 k on the dash. right around 70k miles i began to notice a problem with the transmission and now its really bad. I mean it drives ok but the shifting is real rough and it jumps constantly. the dealer wants $5500 for a remanufactured cvt transmission and it's damn near impossible to find one of those used from a salvage yard. My question is does anyone know of where i can find a cheaper option or what is the best suggested way out of this problem. I thought about trading in the car but am i gonna get wacked for the trade in value real badly because of this problem? Finally can this transmission be rebuilt because i've heard both yes and no. I'm a real audi enthusiasts an love my car very much which is why it's so hard to part with her but i kind a don't want to be paying out the rear for the next couple of years either. Help......

 

do u still have warranty? also check places like aamco transmission, or just tranny shops in genral, see what they quite you

 

the warranty has ended and now i'm stuck with this headache. Haven't tried aamco yet but i will now. thanks for advice.

 

I would be looking for recalls as this is a known fault

Gearshift jolts; individual gears slipping; gearshifts take too long Note[/align] The illustration shows this fault with the valve body dismantled. The valve body must not be dismantled for workshop servicing. t Possible fault: One of the 3 rubber dampers in the valve body cracked -arrow-. t Fault rectification: – Check condition of ATF →Chapter. If ATF is OK: – Renew valve body →Chapter. If ATF is not OK, the fault was not identified and repaired quickly enough. In this case, clutch “G” is probably also damaged. – Dismantle and clean complete gearbox. – Clean ATF pipes and ATF cooler. – Dismantle and check all clutches. – Renew valve body →Chapter.
