Usually, the only thing that breaks is the Parking Pawl. Unless the case is
cracked, it can be repaired while the trans is still in the car. A competent
trans mission gut will know what to check before dropping the transmission.
Just remove the pan and the valve body. The broken pieces will be evident.

Subject: [Syncro] SO's auto hammers into Park at ...

..... oops, 40, and she wondered why there was so much white smoke!!!

Yep, sitting in the middle of Fellowship Road with 50 mph traffic wizzing
by.  The guy who stopped to let her use a cell and call em, got his car
side swiped for his efforts, and the swipper kept on going.

Want to know what happens to a FWD Scirocco auto when it hammers PARK at 40
mph?  From the sound of it, it chiopped at least one tooth on the
differential if not more.  Terminal, I'm afraid.

Bummer, need a new aauto something VW/Audi/Porsche close to NJ.

Any one got something for sale??
