[V8] 2002 A6Q avant?

[Scott DeWitt]

The problematic part in the converter is the seal that directs fluid to
the lockup clutch. It degrades and leaks preventing full lock up of the
converter. The converter slips, then the friction material wears down and
then all that crap goes through the trans and grinds away at those parts.

There are also issues with the valve body, valves stick inside the valve
body that can cause the converter issue.
