Default thar she blows **UPDATE**

well i think my tranny has had it...its been whinning for a few months now and today i had to take down some cocky a$$hole in an audi. i think it put my tranny over the edge cause now it whines even louder and it makes a noise like gears knocking against eachother...is this something i can fix with a rebuild kit or am i way to far gone for that?....FYI it was an audi1.8t

best thing to do is stop driving it right now, before it destroys the case and all it'll be good for is a door stop.

I had that problem in one of my trans and it was the input bearing. Mine was fairly new so i just replaced that and slammed it back together. Not a tough fix. If it's more tho, good luck. You have a good day ahead of you (if you haven't done it before)
