A4 3.0 transmission issues?

2003 A4 3.0 Cab. with just under 30k miles. Last week reverse just disappeared. I met another local owner of the exact same car, including the color. His transmission was replaced at 30k miles. Is there an issue with these cars?

The rear glass panel also detached from his top. This happened to me in the fall.

Herewith an article out of "Auto-Bild", about the Audi A6:

" die Zuverlässigkeit ist mäßig. Pannen auf freier Strecke sind nicht selten (32 Prozent), meist trifft es die 2.5 TDI: Luftmassenmesser, Einspritzanlage, Lüfter und ab 150.000 km auch das Automatikgetriebe. Letzteres gilt auch für die Benziner."

--> Problems with automatic gearbox above 150,000 kilometers.

and another one: "Eine komfortable Sache ist die stufenlose Multitronic, auch wenn diese Automatik nicht ganz problemlos ist. Ältere Getriebe neigen zu Ölverlust und rucken beim Anfahren. Meist behilft sich Audi mit der Radikallösung, also Getriebeaustausch."

--> the Multitronic gearbox is comfortable, although not troublefree. Old gearboxes tend to leak oil and to "stutter" at start. Audi uses mostly a strong solution: complete gearbox replacement.
