Tip transmission while I'm in there...

[Starter986]

Good morning,

After the car being down since mid-October, and a guy who the second week of November said he'd repair the tiptronic transmission "next weel" but since has had one excuse/reason after another... I've found another mechanic who with me will tackle the repair.

Forum members have suggested it is the inner shaft seal. That said...

Would someone mind sharing with me exactly which part(s) I need?

Pelican shows a torque converter seal. Is that the same as an inner shaft seal?

A part number for the correct and proper part greatly would be appreciated. Further... if there are any other seals or parts I should consider "while I'm in there" I would appreciate the/those part numbers.

Also... rear main seal. Is that something I should consider "while I'm in there"? Anything else?

Finally... any special tools that are a must have?

I'd like to get the car under repair late next week. Your guidance is much welcomed.

Thank you.

Jim
