Anyone had experience with blauparts?

My 02 a4 3.0q tip is having problems shifting down to first. Kinda jerks a little bit and when going from park or neutral to drive it also jerks pretty hard. Just started last night and the traction control light won't go out either. So I'm looking at getting this:

Anyone have any advice on a better alternative? Sounds like a good deal but want to make sure. Also, I'd be doing the work myself.

Just bought that kit for my 1.8t a few weeks back.
Great products no problems.

Awesome, thanks man. Were the instructions clear and install pretty straight forward?

More or less. the kit comes with semi basic instructions. Read around on the fourms, their should be some discussion on it.

Also, if its anything like the 1.8 you will need vag-com. You need it to get the transfluid to a certain temp to get the correct fluid level.

It's not hard at all. I give it a 3/10

Just installed a valve cover gasket and cam tensioner gasket from these guys. As far as ordering parts goes, they are great.
