Some more pictures. I should be done with the rebuild today and ready to install back in the car

 

Very thorough job you're doing there. I hope it works out well for you. Well done!

 

Transmission rebuild done. Started installation in the car on Sunday, should be done in a couple of days.

 

After having some problems with the rebuild, I had no reverse grear and a few other issues. Search" transmissiuon help" I had to open the transmission back up. I found what the problem was it had to do with installing the last part in the rebuild the oil supply unit and brake C clutches.. The manual says to use a special allighnment tool, but who has this. I resolved the problem and the transmission works great.

If you are thinking of rebuilding the transmission yourself I can give some good advice on what not to do.

If you need help just send email.

If anyone needs the ZF rebuild manual I have one for sale.

I recently got a 99 A4 Quattro with a bad transmission, then ran across this old posting. I already have a replacement transmission and was wondering if it's common for the torque converter to wear out also? From what I understand from the previous owner they started losing gears. Of course a new TC would be wise but just trying to save money for other things the car may need.

 

Zombie thread, I know, but very interesting and informative.

 

Found I need another TC so if someone has a good used one for sale please let me know.

 

I have one but I’m up in Canada.
