Transgo and B&M
Transgo and B&M Ok talked with a bunch a people. I recently got a DTC code p0751 on my 2000 A4 Transam. Several people have mentioned that it is common to have selenoid sticks. So I found the selenoid part numbers and picked them up from my local dealership. While I was at it I picked up a transgo shift kit and a B&M supercooler. I read alot about the tranny coolers in this forum. My question is with the transgo I know there are 3 settings, I still have the stock converter and have been told that I shouldnt look to install a new converter mainly because of my 3.73 gears. I plan on doing the install of the transgo and the cooler this weekend. Any ideas what to set the transgo to for a stock A4 setup?
Thanks,
Mike

Re: Transgo and B&M Guy from transmission exhange. Basically said that unless I put a cam that doesnt idle smooth until 2000-2500 in. He also said that 1998+ stock converters changed alot and most shops wouldnt touch a 2000 stock converter. His main point about the gears was traction. Could I benefit from a mild torque converter? I plan on doing heads,headers, and cam this winter.

Re: Transgo and B&M You will definitely benefit from a converter especially with the 3.73 gears.If I where you and your going to do heads/cam/headers I would go with a milder 3000-3200 if you have to drive alot on the street.If you dont drive her alot on the street then go bigger but 3000-3200 should be fine with what you have now!! 
Re: Transgo and B&M your tranny guy is old school plain and simple. i'm getting mine restalled to at least 3200......maybe 3600. and i dont even have a head an cam, etc. listen to the guys on here. they know what they're talking about.

Re: Transgo and B&M I say go for the converter. I just installed a TCS 3800 with a 2.5 str and couldn't be happier. It is very manageable on the street, both driveability and traction wise.
