Allroad valve body rebuild

[alien_brain]

here are some highlights from my tiptronic valve body rebuild. my car was shifting like broken glass before, and now shifts like butter. ill let the pics speak for what these guys do, as much as they can.


ream-man rebuilt valve bodies, lansing michigan



meet kody, our guide through the process


disassembly



testing for vacuum


then a little hocus pocus on that machine in the back


on to cleaning the parts and reassembling them with replacement valves

best thing i did for my rebuilt transmission which was still shifting like broken glass as mentioned.

Good shit. Makes me happy to see people keeping their tiptronics running.

How much did it cost you? Tranny rebuild+valve body rebuild? If you dont mind me asking

[alien_brain]

the VB rebuild was close to $600 total but mine apparently didnt need a couple valves that typically need replacement. the main valve was terrible however. what do i know?

i bought the car with the rebuilt transmission. they didnt touch the VB however. hence my visit to get it rebuilt.

Hmm, my tiptronic was rebuilt just before I bought it but they didn't do anything with the valve body either. Rebuild was around $3500. It got new clutches, seals and TC.

At 100,000 miles, how much longer should the tip last? I find it hard to believe that they hadn't improved the technology by 2005 (my allroad MY) A valve body rebuild sounds like a great idea. I'm also curious to know how difficuly of a job it is to rebuild yourself?

i wouldnt say you should do it yourself. but call those guys and ask about it.
