[A8] Transmission fluid contamination

[David Giannandrea]

A better question would be:
	Can gear oil contaminate the trans fluid??

---first post below---

Recently my friends 99 A8 had the head gasket replaced. Total bill was
$4500. I don't know if the engine was removed or if both heads were worked
on. Will know more later.

Now the transmission is slipping. I'm in process on the trans service as I
write.

But want to know: is there any way oil can get from the engine to the
trans??
