A4 transmission

[Dan DiBiase]

Jeff, no, it had been getting very 'rattly' when in idle in first with the

Dan,

I'm curious as to how you had first gear replaced.  Did it just fail entirely?

Jeff, FWIW, I had to have first gear replaced in my transmission at 45k miles. 
Fortunately under warranty...
