Thanks, Darrell. I just received the info below from Weddle. -Dana- -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: VW ACW Tranny Date: Wed, 09 Feb 2000 10:29:44 +0000 From: "chris weddle" <info@2weddle.com> To: Dana Morphew <kdm@whidbey.com> Dana, VW made the switch to the radiused key grooves right around 1990, so your trans may or may not have the improved version. I wouldn't worry about your R&P unless the trans starts making strange noises. You are, however, getting close to the mileage where these transmissions need to be rebuilt. Rebuild price for your trans is $1025 exchange. Regards, Chris Weddle
