inplain straight forward english, the transmission ecu asked for gear X, but after gear X should have been engaged, the ECU found that tha ratio between the input and output shafts was an inplausible ratio, ie gear X wasn't selected.
The gearbox is seriously dumb, ie there is no real way of figuring out what is wrong without stripping it down, but 130K on an S8 is a good innings. I concur with other peoples thoughts, if cost efficiency is your goal, then get another auto box. A8parts might have one, and they have a very good idea state it is in. Its not uncommon to have cars in to break through accident damage that have recently had a refurb box in....

I bought a manual S8 gearbox from Germany (ebay) last year. They are (were?) crazy cheap, I could have had it for 250 euros but waited too long, and when he re-advertised it someone else bid on it too so it went to 500 euros.
However, as others have pointed out there's a ton of other bits to get, and I wouldnt even know who to go to for a manual conversion. I just read Tozo's second conversion, its good to know its possible and that it works.

I would say a manual conversion is the way to go. Besides being pretty much maintenance-free, a manual S8 is undoubtedly much more fun to drive, quicker and easier on front brake / suspension components.
01E is a lot lighter.

I don't agree, i don't think that a manual conversion is in the realms of most peoples home workshop / garage. Unless the car is a toy and can be sat doing nothing for months until it’s complete. If you took it somewhere to have the work done then cha ching. Just the parts alone and the time spent sourcing of them is a job in it’s self.
How many times will an 8 have a recon autobox? They seam to last about 100k so say 200k on the car when you may need a second replacement would it be worth doing then? That said I’m really looking forward to seeing one of you guys doing it as i think it’s an awesome project and hats off to you sir. But i don’t think it’s the way to go for the majority.

^^^ Dezzy, I understand.
I guess it all depends on how many miles you do in a year, and how long you plan to keep the car for. I'd rack up 35,000 miles in a year, so 105,000 in 3. If I intend to keep the car for 5 years, I'll be back in the danger done again... I've always done my own wrenching, so perhaps my assumption that it will be cost effective to go 01E is unfair on others...my current outlay is £379, and I have all the parts required. I've just sold one of my 01E trannies for £325. My outlay would have stood at £704, still pretty cheap. As long as you know where to search for parts, you'll be sitting pretty...
