#2370 of 2409 Re: 1992 Diamante by ollie502 Aug 02, 2008 (6:23 am)
Replying to: dangnabbit (Oct 11, 2002 3:18 pm) I have a 1992 Diamante. It is stuck in one gear I replaced the ECM a couple of years ago for another problem. Car sat for a month or so. When I went to drive it, had only one gear plus reverse. All the places that sell ECM say that there is a Transmission Control Unit. I can't find one. I have taken the whole car apart and there is not one. I think the ECM and the TCU are the same unit. I know when there a problem with these cars, the trans goes in to a "fail safe" mode. It will go into reverse very hard and has only one gear. Any body got any ideas what I need to do?? Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Aug 02, 2008 6:32 pm)

I adjusted the cable and added some Lucas conditioner and it seemed to help but the problem will intermittently occur mainly when the car has been driven awhile. After it downshifts it has trouble going into 3rd (highway speeds)

Replying to: ollie502 (Aug 02, 2008 6:23 am) The book shows a Control Module for the 4-speed automatic in what looks like buried in the console below the ashtray and below the cruise control module. I hope that's not your problem as that part lists for $629.

Replying to: vwbugg (Aug 08, 2008 10:34 am) it sounds like you got the same problem as me (clutch issues)is your clutch a hydrolic or mechanical if its a hydrolice you might just have air in the lines and there are other test you can do

Replying to: vapor6969 (Aug 18, 2008 5:21 am) Depends on your mileage, whether they are highway miles or local driving, how good of a manual shift driver you are, whether the clutch has been replaced before, and how long you intend to keep the vehicle....etc, etc. Since you have to open it all up to get to the throw out bearing, you might as well replace the clutch plate (and even consider the pressure plate). If you don't, and then down the road in a year and 15K miles your clutch plate then needs replaced....now you have a whole big labor charge again to tear it apart. Personally, If I have to open it up ..... I'll replace it all, and then won't have to go into the clutch/transmission again.

Replying to: vapor6969 (Aug 18, 2008 5:21 am) I realize Audi parts are atrociously expensive, so it's possible one could examine the clutch parts and put them back in, but if there is any kind of mileage on these parts I'd probably bite the bullet. It's not like an Audi Quattro transmission falls into your hands after removing two bolts. This is not a 1965 Mustang clutch job. If you are in doubt, have a professional give the parts a really close eyeball. And if you do replace it, use quality parts.
#2378 of 2409 water in transmission, I think by suppo Aug 21, 2008 (9:25 am)
I have a gold/silver cylinder shapped object that is connected to the bottom of the transmission. It appears to be leaking water where the two halfs come together. What is this cylinder? I assume my radiator has a crack inside and is leaking water into the transmission through the lines. What else do I need to do besides replace radiator and flush transmission? Why would water come out and not transmission fluid? Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Aug 21, 2008 9:45 am) suppo (Aug 21, 2008 11:18 am) Mr_Shiftright (Aug 21, 2008 11:46 am) and 4 more...
