    Wes, My A3 ('96) has a model 1545 in it. The earlier A3s had the 545. The 1545 has the lock up t/c. My trans is about to come out. Lost 4th and reverse. Are you any good with these units. I don't have the time to rebuild it myself.

    Hood latch failure.

    The A3 does have a center safety catch (hook), identical to the A2 hood latch. That configuration is on the original A3 metal/reinforced hood. I have a NOS fiberglass hood in the box. It is not equipped w/ a center latch, I'll check to see if it has provisions to bolt the safety latch to it.
