Transgo Shift Kit Install Time
For those who've had this kit installed in their A4, how long did it take?? I was going to have my local dealer do it on my 2000, and they said they would have to drop the trans resulting in about 13.5 hours labor!!!!!
I could have sworn I've read on here multiple times that the install takes about 2 hours.

I thought they just had to drop the pan....not the whole trans???
I'm possibly wrong but I could have sworn that is what I have been told. I'm having one done in a month or two by DTE and I dont recall Phil saying it was a big deal.

C5JOHNNY,
Man there are no tuners up here!!! Vette Docters is probably the closest, and they're in Long Island. I just might have to go there.

I had a local shop do mine. And they said they didn't have the space to do the servo sping on the outside of the trans. Which I think controls the 3/4 shift. So I had them drop the pan and do everything else. When I put the SS3800 converter in and 3.90 rear I did the servo spring myself. Also only took 6 hours to change converter and rear not a big deal.

The install time will depend on the kit you buy, Std or HD, but no more than a couple of hours. The trans does 
have to come out. Find another installer
