[A8] Towing

[Cody Forbes]

I had originally thought about the transmission, but then I started thinking more about it. In reality it seems that the problems aren't really "load" related except for the clutch "A" (first gear) basket which I already replaced with an upgraded aftermarket one. The reverse problem is more of an age thing where it's a rubber diaphragm failure. My only other issue is that I'm lowered on H&R's so I'd have to have an inverted drop hitch and I worry about suspension travel a little. 

Got any pics of your hitch? If you need a place to upload them there's always my unofficial Audifans photo gallery I made years ago that everybody (except Mark Besso who has like 10,000+ pictures on there) forgets about ;-). Http://5000tq.com/audifanspics

I always worry about the trans because it is such a weak point on these cars - but it has always done just fine.  The only other hitch I have found availiable is like $1000 and sticks out like a sore thumb when not in use.  Good luck..
