The Audi district service guy told us the ZF      
        
torque converter can't be     
          
disconnected.  My symptoms were identical in cold

[V8] trans question      
              
Thanks for all the responses on my suddenly        
              
stalling car (post trans    
                  
service).  I was thinking that the Dexron ATF        
              
they used might be a     
                  
little stickierthan another brand.  I understand that
these cars        
              
idle in second and     
                  
shift tofirst when you touch the gas.  The idea of a  
     
              
sticking solenoid for     
                  
the torqueconverter is a distinct possibility and one
I        
              
hadn't thought of.  In     
                  
GM cars thatI've had the problem with, I could unplug
the TCC        
              
to test the     
                  
theory.  Isthat possible on the Audi?  The other thing
about        
              
the TCC solenoid     
                  
failures thatI've had was that they locked up solid. 
In the        
              
case of my Audi, it     
                  
feels morelike the engine takes a big hit as if a     
  
              
super-duper A/C compressor just    
                  
kicked in.  Sometimes it kills the engine,        
              
sometimes the engine     
                  
recovers. BOOM -what the heck was that!  Could be the
TCC.  Were        
              
your symptoms     
                  
similar, Shawn(and any others)?TIACraig Nicol90V8Q
