So I'm starting with my nearly stock 2000 A4 WS6, only mods are a lid and a line lock (used for fun pretty much exclusively, not a drag car)


Where the story begins, driving normally on my way home and decide to stomp on it. A4 downshifts to 1st around 25mph and a loud SNAP and rattling sound. So after I get the car home I get it torn apart... sheared torque converter bolts, damaged oil pan, flexplate and torque converter have the holes mangled.

Fast forward to now, decided to go aftermarket, bought a 2nd car and put the t/a in the garage

Thanks guys, hoping for May or at the extreme latest early June. working 6 days a week doesnt give much time or energy leftover for that matter.

Yeah same here, with school and tests every week or other week the things i need or want to do just keep building up. Need to party less on the weekends and work on the car more for a while..
