A4 Help!!
I recently was doing some highspeed freeway runs, and lost 3rd and 4th gear during it. Prior to rebuilding it or buying a new tranny, perhaps some of my questions might be answered or someone can post other questions in order to add light to my confusion. Hopefully with this information I can get answers so that I can build it right and cost efficiently.
Should I just outright by another tranny? Rebuilt or New
How much?
What components should I look for?
Needs to handle about 550rwhp
Please aks me questions because I am clueless regarding the A4's.
thanks

I would recommend buying an RPM tranny. They are a forum vender with an excellent reputation. (I'm buying a level 5 when mine goes).

If you fill out your profile information you'll likely get more help. People need to be able to see where you live in order to recommend shops, advice, etc. in your area

It could have put it self into a "limp mode" which would lock out 3rd and 4th gear. This is a self protect mode that is usally triggered by overheating. I would let it cool down and see what happens, it could be a cooling line restriction or low fluid level.
Did you notice what the trans temp read-out was when this happened?
If it is toast. RPM looks like the way to go.
