Audi 80 Automatic
Hi,
I have just purchased a 86 Audi 80 Auto. I understand these gearboxes are susceptible to seal failure resulting in damage to the final drive gears. Can anyone give me more info, what to look out for, should i change the seals now, how many miles before the problem starts?? I got th transmission serviced and they overfilled it by about 300-400mls is this bad? Thanks. |

The problem is that the seal between the transmission and differential
start to leak and the gear oil in the differential starts to mix with the transmission fluid. Eventually the oil in the differential will leak out so that there is no longer any lubication to the differential. You will start to hear a whinning sound once the car start moving.
