Richard Chaloner Re: Audi 3.6 Manual Gearbox [re: Paul Draper]       25/02/2003 15:18 Edit   Reply   Re the 3.6 auto box - mine lost drive at approx 160K miles (moisture got in at some point in its past and this disolves the friction plate adhesives!) and i had it rebuilt by an independant trans' specialist (it's just a ZF unit so lotsa firms will do it) - but £3500 !!! Crazy money, for sure, but but still cheaper than audi and bloody imposible to find in the breakers (!) and i've a similar attitude to investing in the cars rebuild and running it forever! (now on 190K miles). The trans' specialist co's seem to be around most major towns (got them in Swindon & Newbury near me) - I would guess somewhere like Exeter / Plymouth etc would have similar - yellow pages jobbie! Back to your thoughts - the swap to manual sounds interesting but my concerns would be the combined cost of a s/h manual g/box + accessories+ possible electrickery + labour could be as much as a rebuild. (but it's only a guess). Bear in mind the autobox electronics communicate with the engine management processor and cruise control, dash computer & suchlike, so there are likely to be a few sub looms & black boxes to delve into! Let us know how you get on! Post Extras
