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?

Re: Project Owdee
 

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

Re: Project Owdee
 

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.

Re: Project Owdee
 

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.

Re: Project Owdee
 

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

Re: Project Owdee
 

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

Re: Project Owdee
 

Oh, bummer, I forgot Owwdees have fancy flywheels.

Re: Project Owdee
 

Ugh over engineering ftl.

Re: Project Owdee
 

Evos need the bumper removed to change the bulbs, but it's more like a half hour project. What were the stock bulbs?

Re: Project Owdee
 

Gross, happy to hear its under warranty.

Re: Project Owdee
 

Bump with no new parts or anything, but here are some pics after I did a claybar and 3 step buffing. mmm
