So now that I have to face the facts and the options of my trans slipping I need to really weigh my options. Contemplating in doing the 6 speed swap. Would the trans listed below work????

Look at this on eBay:

Yes. Any us spec 01E will work as long as it's not from an allroad. allroads have a different front diff ratio.

Ultimately it's important for anyone performing this swap to understand AWD cars required same gearing for front and rear.. :)

You can use the Allroad trans provided you use the Allroad Rear diff.

Advanced Automotion (my shop) have the swaps as well which feature the OEM upgraded New style 1-2 shifter parts (most overhauls are the Old style parts) as well as diesel ratios etc.

I was considering doing the 6 speed swap but not sure if i want to risk such a conversion, unless someone can do it safely with out any CEL lights coming on and no problems cheaper than the rebuild at 517. What is the price on getting the job done?? I am interested because id o have to get this problem resolved asap...

I've said it before that I can probably do a turn-key conversion for $8-8500. This includes labor. Drive it to Pittsburgh and give me a couple weeks..... I'm not in the business, but should finally have some room to work with the S6/RS6 project getting ready to move under it's own power.

Currently the hard part is getting the parts locally. Scotty and Bryan have cornered the market on all the goodies needed for the mechanical conversion...

AMD has the tune worked out to adjust the dash lights.
You will also need an abs module from an s6 or w8 VW.
