As you may be aware I'm breaking my S4, a lad has enquired about buying the dask clocks (speedo etc) but for 1 I don't know what they go for and 2 I thought the immob was built in to them?

Well she's getting broke, all parts available bar the gearbox which is being sent back for a free repair. Sad sad days to get more money breaking a perfectly good car.
Problem =
Bought all parts from TPS and they are a parts supplier NOT a garage so when I asked about warranty they said yeah no probs, take it to Audi, they will drive it, remove the box, send box away to be checked and if no fault found I pay the bill BUT after speaking to Audi they told me...
only 1st gear syc is different, been told off a Audi fitter that it could be a lazy slave / master cylinder not engaging quick enough and it's more noticable 1st to 2nd as this has the widest of gears out of them all.
Idea's?
I have had every sync changed, 1st gear hub was changed because of the issues had with the early S4 boxes and mine was one of them (the collor sticks), so all parts have been uprated from Audi and still have issues. I'm sure I have warranty but what a F'#K on getting the box out again.
Please tell me your joking right? pounding 1st gear at 4500rpms, it redlines at 7 so it's far from pounding. All syncs have been changed. I have drove both S4's and RS4's and NEVER had this issue. You should be able to change at alot higher revs than 4500 and still have no crunch. Regardless of...
Car is a S4 B5, clutch is brand new also new syncs, 1st gear hub etc. Every other gear is fine apart from the one mentioned.
Someone said to check the selector rods but I can't see it being that when it changes fine under 4500 rpm.
Great stuff = Had buyer come to view car today, asked if he could take it out and after seeing his insurance details there was no reason not to.
Test drive = Going great, talking about price on way back from 15 min blast out. Got to round about and he pulled away upto 4500rpms and went to...
Mm, interesting read, may put some ATF in my S4 as looking at the posts it helps massively on fast shifting(always an good thing) and some ATF's ARE GL-4 equivelant. Time to test the water now.
Oil has been changed but still the same, most new cars run ATF but they are designed to. The gearbox lad says ATF is as good if not better than GL-4. If the gearbox ihas had it anyway then no real harm changing it to ATF.
My friend has a golf tdi and it's quite hard to change gear when motoring on (crunches sync), so spoke to a gearbox tech and he reckons to change oil with AFT although it's a manual box. He then told me that most car including Ford and GM's use ATF in there manual boxes as it's so thin which...
