Gearbox failed so had one from a breaker yard fitted. New genuine gearbox oil and filter fitted but box not working. Not pumping oil round. Very annoyed as 11 hour job to fit gearbox. garage thinks its the gearbox oil pump rather than torque converter. The pump from old box is ok so a combination of the fitted box and the old one will make a working box hopefully but would cost at least another 11 mechanic time. Really don't want to have to pay out more but love the car. Still have both gearboxes, the failed one is only 3.5 years old and was a remanufactured genuine audi one, the currently fitted one from breakers apparently worked fine when removed from donor car.
I have recently fitted new Arnott front springs and compressor, kept car in very good condition, engine in good order no problems at last mot but just a dead gearbox now.
Any advice? I have replaced car so no urgency. Car is in Taunton, Somerset. Current thoughts are to risk wasting more money paying garage, sell in current state on eBay, break for parts or hope for some help or offers here. As said would love to get running again but getting very close to what I can afford to pay to repair.
