    904421 - 125K currently. 100% OEM. Encountered an immediate 3K rev while cruising along nicely at 50mph followed by a clunk back into gear. Drove fine all the way home. Parked overnight and drove the next day. Car wouldn't immediately go in to gear until engine revved over 2500rpm and then clunk. Has been parked for the pasat 4 months while I site back and watch time pass.....

    905034 - 231K currently. Entire service history in hand. Had transmission replaced at 106K ($4,730.00 tranny, $3,795 labour) I have no record indicating TQ was replaced, but it is illogical to believe the original '03 OEM unit wasn't replaced as part of the Tranny effort. Had both turbo's replaced under warranty at 39K, Interesting note that this car had its 75K service done prior to being 2 years old and 45K service done at 1 year old.... Has been thoroughly enjoyed and certainly not a garage queen. lol

    '02 S6 Avant Silver - Pokey | Carbon Black/Ebony RS6 w/ stuff - darn quick | '03 Daytona Grey/Ebony RS6 w/ more stuff - quicker yet | '91 NSX CDN issue with 6spd & BBSC - quicker yet and then some | '87 Buick GNX OEM clone w/ lots of stuff - quickest hands down
