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.
