here is the thing....a friend of mine had his GB rebuilt at a specialized garage here and they're saying that they have also put in a new TC, after the rebuilt he drove the car very few miles and even though there were no error codes thrown by the GB or the TC, something wasn't quite right with it, i have only driven it a few miles when i scanned it but it was hard to actually see what was wrong because his engine wasn't running well due to all O2, EGT and speed sensors which were failed, had errors on VagCom from all of them so i couldn't really see exactly how the GB performs, i did feel a bump from 3rd to 4th, i guess, but i am not sure...in the end he bought a used GB complete with the TC and it seems now to be running slightly better considering that he still hasn't fixed the sensors....he gave me for free the old gearbox and the TC so i am now kind of confused especially regarding the TC, how can i make sure it is indeed new? there was still oil in it and i spilled some and it was clean as the water, no debris, no little pieces of metal, nothing, it was as it would came out of the bottle....i have also talked with the owner of the garage and he told me that the TC is new and that they've changed the clutches but he thinks that the problem might be due to some pressure loss which they couldn't figured out where it comes from...how can i check that the TC is new? my plan is to open the GB and check the clearances of the clutches and the VB, that is what my mechanic is saying that might be the issue...what do you think?
