2001 allroad torque converter issue

[jeremiah at curryclan.net]

Hope you have better luck that I did.  Just bought a 2001 Allroad for $7700, a
few months later it wouldn't back up.  Long story short, $5,000 for a full
transmission rebuild due to bad revers drum, torque converter, and some other
stuff.
 
the good news is they said there have been upgrades to a lot of the parts, so
once you get it rebuilt with the new pieces, the Tranny should be pretty
bulletproof.
 
thanks,
Jeremiah
