[s-cars] 92 transmission

[The Gagnons]

Hello,

My 92 S4 developed a whine in the transmission a few weeks ago.  I put it up
on a lift and there is a definate notchyness on the rear output.  It is
lumpy as it turns and is not smooth.  I suspect it is the dreaded pinion
bearing failure.

I have been looking around or a replacement and am not sure what is the best
solution.  The six speed would be freat, but I cannot dish out $3,000 plus.
I have ound a few used transmissions.  One is a 93 with 126K, the other is a
95 with 87k.  The 95 is about $400 more.

Is it worth the extra money for the 95?  What years were prone to the pinion
bearing problems?

Thanks everyone,

Jack
