I have a German Transaxle... umm... transaxle in my van with about maybe 7k miles on it? It came well shipped, and timely, too (stranded in whitehorse, yukon, CA on my way to the first day at work in california :-), but it has always shifted a little rough, and lately 3rd is kind of grinding going into gear (4th - 3rd). It works, but i can't say i would whole-heartedly recommend them. To be honest, though, i havn't made any attempt to contact them about the less than stellar shifting performance, so i don't know what their customer service is like. The other part of this whole puzzle is that i don't trust the shop that did the install, but i don't know how their work would impact 3rd gear shifting performance. Anyway, just my experience. -Damon (really want a 5speed) --- Kevin Edwards <taperkevin@HOTMAIL.COM> wrote: > German Transaxle, Bend, OR > > Can someone kindly offer experiences with these > various shops? > > Kevin Edwards > Indian Trail, NC ===== '84 Westy (Sparky) '65 Kharma Ghia (Dharma) __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
