Audi appears to have stumbled when the tranny for '92 and '93 S4 was
introduced. An extaordinary high percentage (on the order of 30% I believe,
based on a survey of Registry members) of tranny problems (replacements)
are reported for those models.

As for the 200q, it also has the Audi reputation for "bulletproof"
transmission. However my dear ol' '91 200q was recently an organ donor
(tranny) for Rob Winchell's '91 200q. But that seems to be a pretty
isolated occurance.
