Promised my sister I'd ask on here but she bought an 03 audi a6 1.9tdi automatic. The car has started kicking into gear, and as a result the gearbox needs to be replaced and the mechanic wants to recondition the gearbox.
Does anyone know whether it is possible to do a manual conversion on the car? Looking for some advice on what to do!
Thanks in advance!

Should'nt be any reason you could'nt convert it, be far easier just to get a gearbox thats already been reconditioned?

It was reconditioned before and they spent over 2grand on it and the car is jumpin into gear and ruined all the links so it needs to be done again after 18months! So thats why I was asking about converting it to manual, to cut out the kick into gear! Originally Posted by Stevo

Yeah think thats what she wants to do, go for a second hand one. The help would be appreciated man! But no point going for another gearbox yet until someone knows why its jumpin into gear as soon as you touch the accelerator first. It's been in Audi dealers in Dublin and Donegal and noone has any idea and keep fobbin her off! Originally Posted by Hositos1

yeah oil level is grand! When you touch the accelerator even slightly it feels like its dumpin the clutch as hard is it can and its ruining all the links and gears. It's supposed to be a really common problem, as no Audi main dealer services a gearbox and they all go to shit apparently!

Next question, was there ANY diagnostics made, if yes, what were the results ?
There you get your most answers what is wrong there ....
If you got them list up the codes ....
Sry im asking, but your mechanic is a freelancer or somewhere in a dealers garage ?
Does he have all the equipment needed for the diagnostics and thigs ?
Otherwise i dont understand why you asking the question here /whats the problem) if hes qualified and smart enough to find out the problem.
If he just says, gearbox needs to be changed, i would like to know for what reasons ... In forums actually noone can give you adequate answer for your problem... unfortunately ...
