Steve offered his car but I get nervous driving someone elses car that far so I made other arrangements. He seems quite knowledgeable so I think everthing will go well. Can’t wait! ---

The car is now at Steve’s where it was 110 degrees today according to the car, that was crazy hot and humid. If all goes well it should be about 2 weeks to complete the conversion and maintenance. ---

Were there no bearings for the rebuild kit? Only reason I ask is because I have my own tranny rebuild thread going and planning to attempt it myself. Curious about yours. ---

Yeah just what you see in post #27 picture. The composite parts are the only “modded” part about the kit, I believe. Some dude bros in a Suby gave me the thumbs up as I was passing them so I waved and for some stupid reason I mashed the gas. Next was a huge clunk, then rocket mode. That would have been embarrassing if the tranny finally blew up right then and there on I79. lol ---------- Post added at 08:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:36 PM ---------- Gas is cheaper per gallon in PA but somehow I put 23 gallons in my car while the computer said I still had 40 miles to go. (?!?!) My car got 22 mpg while the Xterra got 15mpg. I had to laugh. ---

^ price looks right, that’s pretty much what my A3 has. What makes you think it’s compatible with your car? ---

Yeah the price looks very good from what I have seen. A guy on RS6 forum has one like it. I am not 100% sure it is the same wheel but he said it was from a TT. ---

does he have the airbag and radio controls working? I don’t expect them to be functional. basically you can cross shop most of the nicer models / optioned audi cars 2006+ to get this wheel with subtle differences. I love it in my car. ---

I was thinking the airbag was functional. I saw it about a year ago so I don’t remember. I will find it again. Edit: I guess the newer airbags are dual stage and the older are single. (Still not sure about functionality yet) ---

gotta be slim to no chances you’re getting a dual stage airbag working in an older car. ---

> [@theblue](#): > > gotta be slim to no chances you’re getting a dual stage airbag working in an older car. The sensors are different. Might be able to go single stage with the older versions. ---

Yeah I am not sure if that wheel I have a link to is dual or single. (?) I think being flat bottom = newer = dual stage. (?) ---

Well I got some pictures of the tranny rebuild, he said it wasn’t bad but the picture looked like there were chunks/sections missing but maybe that is normal. lol He is waiting for a crank sensor now, I guess I should have gotten one before.
