Jimmy Williams (the guy in the videos for Transmission Bench) is an excellent teacher. If you get his E4OD videos and his master rebuild kit (videos free with kit right now), you will be able to fix your own transmission. Like said above, you won't know what "hard parts" you need until you get it apart. He sells most of those hard parts as well for very fair prices.

I'm down here in the IDI forum because I was working on one this week and needed some info (94 with turbo). Y'all have a solid group in here.

We sure do and it's honestly just a good place to be with an idi weather you're fixing one or owning it.

Bear in mind youre going to have to fork over some cash for tools as well. Also a new converter or have yours gone through.

Used Complete E4OD runs around 600 bux

IF you can find one at Pull-A-Part it will cost you just over 130 bux Complete.
BUT the TDI engine at Pull-A-Part costs about 200 Bux Complete.

Been reading alot of different post on here where people have had the same problem of not goi g into gear. All other posts I've read they all had problems with shifting hard or stalling when going aroud corners. Hard shifts. before this happened i had none of these thi gs happen. Why would mine go like that? With no symptoms. so overfilling the system did that much damage?
