It amazes me the cheap fixes some people do. Although in this case its not really a fix.

The exact opposite of a fix! They didn't have a new gasket, and had damaged the flange when taking it off - they appeared to have stabbed it with a screwdriver leaving a 2mm sprag of steel proud of the sealing side of the flange. In lieu of a gasket they liberally applied silicone sealant everywhere, bolted it back together and then re-filled it with red ATF. The ATF promptly dissolved the silicone, leaving a 2mm gap in the front so every time the brakes were applied a glug of ATF would fall out. The TC was howling by the time I got it home from Essex to Devon, and I only realised later on (ie in that thread) what damage had actually been done to it.

There's probably more info on audisrs and rs246 if you chose to go for an aftermarket torque converter.
