06' CTT Trans Aisin Model #?

[CTTinTO]

I was surfing some Club Touareg sights and Touareg owners experience the same transmission valve body issues we Cayenne owners do.

Some owners have taken it upon themselves to procure reman valve bodies while others have found repair components.

I found one interesting thread on repair components offered by a company called sonnax (www.sonnax)

Touareg owners are replacing component #4 from this breakdown:

apparently the cost is under $300 for the kit + $75 for the installation tool (looks like a guide for the boring)

I figure if a valvebody from the dealer is going to cost me $1500, I might as well first try this repair!?

But I need to know the Aisin model number for the transmission of an 06' Cayenne...

Can anyone help?

Hope this helps but have a pic of my Tranny identiplate off my '05 Cayenne Turbo with E81 Power kit package (basically Identical to the Turbo S). I can send it to you if you would like it. hahnmgh@yahoo.com It shows Model TR60-SN, part 09D 300 037H.

Not cheap but check this out too: http://www.makcotransmissionparts.com/P15740-1.html

I do believe the valve body can be replaced from the pan without pulling the tranny too.

Awesome! thanks for the info! I'm going to have my CTT up on a hoist Saturday for an oil change so I can check the P/N then but I'm 99.9% positive now it is indeed a TR-60SN.

Thanks for the link on the reman valve body. I will probably do mine at the end of this summer if my problem gets worse. Right now, I rarely experience the harsh downshift, mostly because I avoid that particular driving mode. But either way, I want to do my homework before I take the plunge,

Let me know how it goes, I may just pull my valve body later and have it done too as it would probably lengthen the life of the tranny as a whole and they claim the do all of the Sonax improvements to it.
