Hello! Got an '85 westy with a dead manual transmission. I'm looking for advice on brands of replacement transmissions - opinions on Rancho, FGA (Fast German Auto), AA Transaxle, GEX, and GTA (German Transmission). Wary of used transmissions as most vanagon odometers die at 80,000 miles so I have no clue as to mileage of transmission. Any advice/comments appreciated as Westy is sitting dead at repair shop, who is awaiting transmission . . . . Thanks! Tom Boldway |
