Our S4 TII we purchased new, always needed some ATF injected after sitting for the 4
winter months, and not uncommon to see several towed in to get running again.
The S5 TII on the other hand has never encountered the problem in the 28 years we've
owned the car. No matter how Iong it sits, it fires right up.

Oh yeah so the clutch is like gone, so i should just add some transmission fluid? or should i bleed it first? i will definitly rebuild to S5 TII once i have saved up some money.
