Default A4 tranny upgrade

Took the A4 to the dealer for a warranty repair on a tranny leak. One of the techs used to work at the shop that did the H/C swap, so they know its been moded. Anyway, assuming they won't replace the tranny, I've been hearing lots of props for RPM Transmissions. FLP used to be the way to go for a performance swap. What do you guys think? Best,

You can't go wrong with Rodney at RPM transmissions. He builds a great tranny at a fair price and he is a great guy to deal with.

I've also heard lots of good things about RPM and Rodney, and they are a supporting vendor now.

Chuck from FLP spun off the transmission business into a seperate entity - Finish Line Transmissions (FLT). I have one of the first FLT L4's in my car. It's reliable and predictable, and Chuck is reachable for questions or support - can't ask for anything more!

I don't think you can go wrong either way.

The leak is probably a seal, do you have any other issues with the tranny???
