- My credo
- I'll do it myself
I put a shift kit into my a4ld valve body. I found that one pan bolt hole is stripped and another is stripping. I guess someone before me over did the torque. I guess I'll have to put a Heli coil in or drill and tape to next bigger size. The kit does help but the a4ld still must be rebuilt. I also brazed in a drain plug. The brazing looked so good, but it leaks. I didn't expect that. Anyway, now it'll be easier to drain and remove to pan to fix it. I thought this would be a simple project, but it wasn't. It was a lot more work and aggravation then I expected. Though I should have expect that since that's the way it always is.
