Well, just received confirmation that my custom built ACE Tc has been dispatched on the 8th and is now well onroute to the UK :lovl: Ohhh I cannot wait as I have been assured it will take all my torque plus a bit extra and means my baby can stAy auto:rs6kiss: I will let you know when it arrives, is fitted and what I think ;) I must say a big thank you to pallette (corey) for all his help with the shipping of the tc to Ace and the occasional worried phonecall from me ;)

Awesome, ACE seems to be great. He's got a TC rebuild for me and 2 others that he is doing this week. Hopefully get mine later this week, put it in the car next, then foot down on the throttle...

Mine is on its way tomorrow! Andre just called and said things look great. I'll have one to sell as a core if anyone is interested.

Nice Mandy. Finally your going to be able to put all that Torque to the Ground. I wouldn't be surprised if you could smoke all four Tires. LOL!! Good luck.................

Hey don't be to quick to beat on your ride. I just did my TC and Valve body only to have the Clutches let loose one month later. So unless you do a complete Trans Rebuild, take it easy. I've been there.........................

Agreed, I plan to keep away from real aggressive launches and shifts, hoping to keep the tranny going as long as possible...

Don't be such a wet noodle Vinny...I replaced my torque converter at 60K miles, 33K tuned miles later my trans is just fine! (Oooh, not sure I should be saying that outloud....)

Yeah I hear you Pat. I guess there are exceptions to the rule. But I'm just trying to look out for my Fellow RS6er's based on my limited experience with mine so far. My box right now is out at 517trans being hardened up and even after being reinstalled I still won't be beating on it. Don't get me wrong all challenges will be met with full force, I just won't be running to many 0-60 times. I don't want to have to take this one out again. (And your right I don't think you should be saying that out loud either, you've been doing real good so far.)

Hahaha, I think my warranty officially expired today too....all future repairs from here are to be carried out by myself and my garage fridge....

I'm sorry for your trouble with customs, Amanda, but I must say it's a bit comforting to know that hopeless bureaucracy is not only an American phenomenon. :)
