Default 01 A4 1.8TQMS tranny is SHOT @ 60K

crunch crunch grind grind when I *try* to release the clutch.

Looks like it's time for a 2.8QM tranny (better 5th gear ratio for cruising)

Anybody know if having a shop rebuild the tranny is a feasible solution, or just a waste of time & money?

Default mine went at 46K (7 months out of warranty)

AoA refused to help at all as my car was modified!


thanks again for reinforcing my opinion of you

Default I've had a fractured pressure plate before and it would rattle horribly at idle

actually, I only let it run for a second or two.
This time, it will idle fine and I can even let the clutch out while it's in neutral, but not in gear.

This is already my 2nd transmission. the first one went at ~29K or 42K I can't remember.
