VolksCafe (Santa Cruz) did mine, and I'm very happy with it.  They charge
1200-1800, depending on what's inside.  Mine was 1500, I did R/R myself.
One thing, they will fill it for you with GL-4, but they use Chevron or
something along those lines.  I was thinking it was taking a really long
time for my synchros to break in, and I switched to Redline MT-90.  It is
now the smoothest tranny I've ever shifted.  Moral:  get your own redline,
or have them get some for you.  Pmail me if you need someone to do R/R for
you.
