Blown transmission stage 3-... whats it worth?

[Jroc]

I love my car, but she's been seriously testing my patience.

Ive been sitting on my b5 for about a month or two. wondering if its worth it to rebuild/replace the tranny and sell, or sell it as is.

[Yuppie]

List of mods and the condition of the body would help. Any rust issues at all?

[Bordom]

Pics are a must

Just fix it people will try and low ball the shit outta you because it needs a trans

[christianb5s4]

Tiptronic or 6 speed?

[Whiplash_89]

If its a 6spd please post how much everything cost to fix if you decide to go that route.

[Jroc]

Wasn't there a part out that the guy was selling a trans for like $350? Check out the classifieds, you will just buy another s4 if you sell this one.

[S4tech2]

Edit, $600 and located in PA if that helps you out.

[Jroc]

if there was a trans a little closer i would. im in nw canada

[Bordom]

I can't even find a trans in Ontario. People only sell 6-spd swaps and don't want to part with the trans. Just grab the JHM rebuild kit and be done with it

I agree with Bordom, I would not sell the car just because you need to rebuild the trans. It sounds like a well set up stage 3 car based on parts, rebuild the transmission and you'll be very happy or if you've got time, wait for a working trans to become available.

[gnarbro]

Define "blown"

[InglisLeslie]

I just had to replace my 01e.

$450 for used 6 speed found on Facebook
$650 for JHM Rebuild
$900 rebuild labor
$1200 Transmission Swap

You are at an easy $3k if you need a shop to rebuild and install

[Whiplash_89]

Fuck that...

[Jroc]

well my symptoms are ..
insanely difficult to shift into r without finding a sweet spot between 2500-3000rpm, even then its difficult.
1-2 is a little clicky but not bad. 3rd is clunky to shift into, reallllllly hard to shift out of. 4th is reasonable. 5 and 6 are fine.
although during the motor swap i notice it was slightly worn, if that has anything to do with it. im not too keen on transmissions/clutches.

[dozer103]

Is it hard to shift into 1st from neutral at idle?

what i would do for her ETA to be 1 month watching her every morning when I go to work and saying good night when coming home at 9, you just blow her a kiss and say sorry just like an actual wife lol...but in your case .. you got it made kid( i got a good 12 years on you) ;)

Convert to the Canadian Peso and you're already at $5k. Especially with what these trans go for used in Canada. Easily $1k just for the trans

How does it shift with the motor off? (Unless you already answered this) Sounds more like shifter alignment now

like bordom suggested try aligning the shifter first, just wondering how did your transmission problems start happening, was it a failed shift or something? if it actually is a broken trans and youre looking to sell it let me know as im in BC too

Sells you Stage 3- that needs a trans for cheap. Turns out to be loose shifter bolt lol

Obviously OP, I don't want that to happen to you.

hahaha i wouldnt be surprised if something like that has happened before , knowing these cars.

[Jroc]

car also shifts like shit when off.

happened after an extremely spirited run in the early hours of the morning (15 mins drive done in 5 mins)

fucked up a 5th to 4th downshift and grinded hard. had immediate issues after the cooldown on the way home.

Then yes, probably have shavings in the oil that have plugged the shift collars. Definitely time for rebuild

now to pull the trigger on another 3k purchase..

[Audimilo]

Fix that shit, get it overwith, be done with it, love the car again. till the next thing lets go. its B5S4 life. get used to it or get goin

[Trb1]

$500 + shipping for an 01E with right around 100k on it. Second gear when cold is sometimes notchy. Located in Michigan.

[Whiplash_89]

Does the B5 S4 share the 6spd with any other audi/vw? Allroad?

[Trb1]

Does the B5 S4 share the 6spd with any other audi/vw? Allroad?

Yep. Same transmission in the Allroad and A6. I believe those have all have transmission coolers though. Not that that's an issue.

Some of the early b6 models have a variation of the 01E that can work too.

FYI:

The B6 3.0 from 02-03 is a 01E trans with shorter 3-6 gears. They are also less durable.

The C5 A6/Allroad also use 01E transmissions, but the Allroad uses a different final drive. 4.35 compared to 4.11 in the S4. You can swap the front diffs but then you would have to reset the backlash and everything for the ring and pinion to be kosher.

The Allroad also has much shorter gear 1-6

Huh, no kidding. Didn't realize that the all road ratios were any different. With the b6 3.0 01E you have to modify the speed sensor for the speedo as well.

Yeah, so the 3.0 01E, just swap the left cover and speed sensor tone ring, as well as the VSS from the B5 trans and you'll have a working speedo. You may/may not have to swap all the flanges, but that's shit simple

ordered rebuild kit. shipped out today.

Good info.

This is true for some of the B6 transmissions. Trb saw my car lol I have a trans out of an 03 and the speedo is ran off of the ABS sensor, the 02 B6 has the speedo ring.

Depending on the year of 3.0 you will need to put the speed sensor ring on the output shaft i believe it is on the driver side behind the diff cover. I just had to do it on my 2003 A4 3.0 trans. 2002 is hit and miss

That is exactly what I mentioned. Typically 02-03.5 will be 01E. Anything else will require too much modification to work properly
