If only there was some re-engineering solution that could fix the thing in the auto box that fails. Then I could keep the auto box forever
why are Mercedes automatics so reliable?

Ben would you be able to do a manual gearbox conversion on a S8, I'm curious how much it would cost (for the labour)
Thanks
I didn't mean I want it mate, I meant Mike needs to buy it!! He's going to need one.

apologies for misunderstanding.
Mike, there's a few gearboxes on ebay, mostly S4 (but Tozo did use a S4 box).

one in the UK

in Germany
http://cgi.ebay.de/Audi-RS-4-Getrieb...item3cb544444b

(not sure what he is saying about A8?)

this one crossed 175,000 miles, maybe a bit too much?

another S4 B5 box, bit more expensive

I just searched S4 Getriebe on ebay.de
