[Nosferatu]

I'm almost done with my engine and suspension rebuild and now I'm turning my attention to the transmission. The tiptronic selector gets stuck on manual once-a-while. Also it did stall a few times while on gear when I received the car. I pulled the bell housing and the damper plate is fine. I checked the selector and it looks ok from an electrical and mechanical perspective. I have a couple selectors that look newer and I may replace it just in case but I'm 99.99% sure the selector isn't the problem.



The transmission is leaking some ATF. A few drops a day but again this doesn't look to be the problem. Checking the arm that is connected to the selector it fells loose. This is the arm that connects to the cable that goes all the way to the tiptronic selector in the cabin.



I haven't drop the transmission yet but from what I can tell from using my fingers over the exhaust there is some bushing either broke or loosen. Does any of you have any experience with this kind of issue? I will try to post some pictures if the web site and my computer literacy allows me :-)

make sure you have at least the 2R rods in there.

balance everything.

make sure the oil pickup screen does not touch the bottom of the pan.

make sure the guy building it knows what the heck he is doing. there is a lot of "one use" stuff in there
