I am fed up!

[Roa, Greg]

One thing I found interesting when I was out at the local Audi dealership a week or two ago, was that they had two 6 speed cars up on lifts having their transmissions replaced.  One was a newer S4, and one was an A6 with 2.7t.  In talking with a friend who works there, he said that they get them in quite frequently with transmission failures.

Didn't find out from him what the failure mode was, however.
