Jeff, Check Ron's Tranxaxles in San Pablo (near Richmond, across the bay from Marin). He rebuilt mine years ago, and is favored by my favorite mechanics. He is the local, highly esteemed rebuilder of Syncro Transaxles, too. Contact info: RONS TRANSAXLE 1035 Broadway Ave San Pablo CA 94806 (510) 235-6263 Ron (not the Ron mentioned above!) -----Original Message----- From: Vanagon Mailing List [mailto:vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com] On Behalf Of Jeffrey Stangeland Sent: Wednesday, February 19, 2003 3:20 PM To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Subject: tranny rebuild for my "new" westy
hey all, just limped home my '81 westy.... thanks to all for guidance and advice. the tranny needs to be rebuilt and i am looking for a good reliable rebuild in the san francisco bay area, if anyone knows of a place. also, the front end is squeaking like a rusty mattress. what would be the cause? the front end seems fine other than the constant squeaking.\ other than that, she's beautiful. i also wanted to ask what is the best manual to have for work on my new westy. --does the muir manual apply to the '81 since the engines were the same as the '79? thanks to all for continued support, peace, jeff '81 westy
