QUOTE=y0itzflip;10984800]still waiting to get the TCM back in order to put it back together. i only put the trnasmission cover on to keep any debris out since im doing this in my driveway. mostly putting it back together is gonna be the exact opposite. most of the bolts only fit in one place, luckily, so itll be hard to mess that up. i heard you need vagcom to properly fill the transmission. i have the cable but the laptop died not too long ago so i havent been able to use it. trying to see if i can find a cheap laptop on craigslist to keep dedicated to vagcom usage.

oh and dont forget to order a new gasket for the transmission. the part number 01J301475N

its 8-10 dollars most places online. but then they charge shipping, so it ends up coming to 20 if you order online. im going to try my dealer because i cant justify paying such high shipping for an inexpensive part.


i will be posting here once i get the TCM back should be early next week. again i couldnt really find much info besides "buy a manual" or simply no replies. just post up if u have any questions, ill help with what i can.[/QUOTE]

This extensive thread on a DIY effort to replace a faulty CVT Transmission Control Module inspired me to give it a shot, given my 2003 Audi A6 is exhibiting all the hallmark symptoms - intermittently going into reverse, flashing gear indicator lights. To my surprise, I jacked the car and as you can see in the pic, I don't have a transmission support bracket/mount blocking my access to the rear cover. It's just not there. There are clearly bolt holes on the lower rear transmission that match what was in the DIY pictorial, but there doesn't seem to be a set of mount points on either side. Am I missing my bracket, or is it possible my Audi never came with one? Sorry image is upside down, darn TinyPic wouldn't allow me to save and upload right side up.
