Project Owdee

I've always thought it would be fun to sell a highly modded car to someone expecting something stock, but I wouldn't trust them not to destroy it.

Took my car to Carousel last night to check on a slight leak from the tranny. Noticed it while I was installing 6k HID bulbz last weekend.

Anyway... Its leaking somewhere from the case, I thought it was just the drain plug but its not. Out comes the tranny for a NEW one. haha Warranty FTW.

Oh and to replace the HID bulbs, you have to remove the bumper, pretty cool 2 hour project...

Gah a new trans!?!? Wow, that sucks, thank goodness for audi's stellar warranty! Will be curious to know what the fix/actual problem is. Gonna put in a new clutch while they're in there?

[polishmafia]

Getting a new trans... crazy! I also want to know what caused the failure.

Ill be asking them tonight, they say it was leaking out of the tranny casing. Ive noticed it get crunchy in the last week, so I assume they just want to replace the whole thing versus rebuild.

Im also gonna check with them to see if I should install a new clutch at this time, just as piece of mind.

Can't complain about a free transmission! I think you should buy at least a new clutch disc while they're in there; I'm sure they can resurface your current flywheel and pressure plate.

Oh snap, they probably can't just resurface, you'd get to buy a whole new flywheel too IIRC! Dual-mass flywheel ftw? :P

New bulbs look good! Will be nice to have a new smooth transmission in there!

Oh, bummer, I forgot Owwdees have fancy flywheels.

Ugh over engineering ftl.
