I'm Chris. Ex owner of 300TT and father of owner of a different 300TT.
My daughter's car lost drive on Ulster St the other day… End result – Transmission filter blocked with many metal filings… Bad news!
My real concern however is the quote from a reputable firm to fix the Trans. Over 4 grand!!! Shock, Horror! Is this normal?? The filings are not Gold :-/
Any suggestions appreciated but I'm thinking of getting another trans for them to throw in it. They still have it on their hoist with the trans out at present.
What do you think?

Hi Chris
Sadly this is actually a pretty average quote, maybe a touch higher than the norm but certainly within what I've seen more than a few times.
The Auto boxes are extremely expensive to repair.
Having a quick search through trademe I can see there are a couple of really nice manual cars for about $6K, you could get maybe ~$1800 for your dead TT auto so for a touch more money end up with a far better car OR alternatively if you have the time to wait I could try and source a second hand box for you. This would require purchasing a wreck & parting it out though & at the moment my work load is through the roof so it would more than likely be after Christmas before I could do anything.
