A4 Blues; What's broke?
 

After much smack talking I finally broke my A4 in my double oute Camaro SS. :cry: I was driving on one of those 7 degree days last Dec., went to pass someone, (in OD to the floor 4th to 2nd) and car makes a bad brake pad noise in 1st, 4th, and reverse. Trans temp still very cool. :nod: On jacks, in reverse, trans would lock up, wheels would not spin backward. Now it doesn't do that anymore, but still makes bad brake pad like noise. I don't think I smoked any clutches, but think I broke the spag or something came or broke loose. All gears still work. Just need to know what is broke before I open trans up when it gets warmer.

Enter a couple symptoms in the search, Ive tried the same thing, when thinking about upgrading mine to prevent this, and I know Ive seen something like that in there, youre definately on the right track. Good luck

we do rebuild the transmiisions for performance needs. We put a 5 pinion plaitary put blue clutchs better sunshell and kevlar bands along with many other things give me a call at 203-619-4732 if you need a transmiision refresioned
thanks guy

If you rebuild transmissions, wouldn't ya know how to spell transmission?

Just my $.02...:)

:rotflmao:

Thanks for the input aNuBiS. I've allways had people tell me, "You can't do that. Take it to a shop". Seems like the shop manages to F it up worse than it was before they got ahold of it.

The sunshell won't take the torque. Same thing happened to me in a 4 - 2
pass of a slower car. 2, 4th, and R wouldn't work...

Sounds like what mine did when I broke my sprag. I had to floor it in 1st and 2nd to get it to go anywhere. Once it hit 3rd it went fine.
