Hello, I need to replace the gearbox in my car. It's a 2008 Audi A6 S Line, automatic. The code for my gearbox is 01J301383T. I have seen some second-hand gearboxes with the code 01J301383 (same code, but without the "T"). Is that gearbox compatible with my car?

No, even though the transmission looks the same I would not install anything but the "T" variant. There will be differences in internal electronics which will cause the transmission not to program correctly which will affect the shifting characteristics. Let us know if you need anything else.

Thanks, looks like I'll have to keep looking for the exact code then!

Yep, these cars must have what they are designed for or problems will come up. Let me know if you need anything else from us.
