I guess it is true as I just had my trans rebuilt and found out it was low on trans fluid from the factory too.

Took it back to Cartek, & it was "reset" set (NOT to lock) under full throttle.. It usually runs about 190 deg... & I went to RP the next Sat.. made 3 runs all were 1.6x 60' time, and it ran 11.75 - 11.77 @ 116 mph no heat problims...
BTW it not a A6 its an (A4)

So here's a more meaningful update..... The converter took a dump. ECS replaced it with another one and I have driven about 1,000 miles since the replacement. So far, so good. I drove about 300 miles on Tuesday to Delaware and back and the trans seemed fine. Temps were between 160 and 180 depending on my driving I hope that I won't have any more issues with this trans.
I have to say that ECS stood behind its product/job and made things right.
Thank you.

Doug why havent you responded to my PM's and messages on here? It seems like after I said my tranny went out you didnt want to talk to me. And it was fixed under warranty anyway. All I wanted was the eng tune and not the trans tune resent to me so I could load it up but after several PM's and even more messages on here you never got back with me. I even left a meassage with someone where you work. No worries tho as I already have the issue fixed by other means. Thanks.
