View Full Version : What is involved in changing the tranny fluid?? Black Sunshine 03-17-2003, 09:03 PM Mr.D-'97 A4q 12v 03-17-2003, 09:07 PM Black Sunshine 03-18-2003, 06:29 AM Mr.D-'97 A4q 12v 03-18-2003, 07:00 AM you need a 17mm hex socket and a triple square. I bought both of these and was planning on doing mine soon. In fact, I was going to pick up Redline Gear Oil while I'm at Curry's getting Dyno'ed tomorrow. Maybe we can hook up and do it together. A few others might want to, also.

It would suck to drain the oil out only to find you can't remove the fill plug!

Can't beat their prices, though. Audiboy 03-18-2003, 10:16 AM Mr.D-'97 A4q 12v 03-18-2003, 10:19 AM BTW, J/K. Audiboy 03-18-2003, 11:02 AM it's hard to spend only $10 :) Mr.D-'97 A4q 12v 03-18-2003, 11:03 AM Still waiting for 2 items including the $20 torque wrench which I just found out today is BO'd until 3/28. =( Black Sunshine 03-18-2003, 11:09 AM Mr.D-'97 A4q 12v 03-18-2003, 11:22 AM I think I will wait til then. I'm sure it will be OK if you came but I must ask since I was invited by Omid. I'll let you know! Black Sunshine 03-18-2003, 11:32 AM I just wish I hadn't left my jack and stands at my parents house, could have just done it here! Where is the shop to which you are refering? Mr.D-'97 A4q 12v 03-18-2003, 11:37 AM I'll let you know when I find out. Black Sunshine 03-18-2003, 11:46 AM Mr.D-'97 A4q 12v 03-18-2003, 12:10 PM Want to see what the actual gains are. You can come if you want but my appt is at 4:30 in Sterling, VA.

It takes about an hour and you can't just show up. But your welcome to come along (or follow) to check it out! Like I said earlier, I am also picking up Redline Gear Oil for my tranny and Omid's. Let me know if you want to go and I'll call Curry's to make sure they have enough gear oil in stock for all 3 of us! |
