[urq] Audi 5000 Automatic Shifting Problems

[Buchholz, Steven]

Hi there John!

I wonder if you'll be able to get much help on the urq list ... most of us
have to live with the 5-speeds ... I do know that there were issues with the
internal seal on the automatics where tranny fluid and diff fluid would mix
... what you may want to do is to post your request on the main quattro list
(I'll copy my reply there) ... I'll bet there will be someone there who has
BTDT to share!

To join the main list, check out
http://www.audifans.com/mailman/listinfo/quattro ... you must be a member to
be able to post ... there is a lot of bandwidth on the list, if your mailer
can't handle a high mail volume, subscribe with the "No Mail" flag set ...
this will allow you to post messages, but you won't get all of the mail
traffic in your box.  You can find out if anyone has replied by checking the
list archives ...

If anyone on the qlist has some info for John, please be sure to copy his
e-mail with your reply.  There is no real need to include me in the reply,
but if you do that is fine too!
