I just had my Syncro transmission rebuilt at http://www.aatransaxle.com Darryl is fantastic - many many years of VW and Audi transmission rebuilding and he updates the transmission, not just rebuilds it, so that it is stronger and lasts longer. He also has a three year warranty too, so, he has to be doing something right!

-----Original Message----- From: Vanagon Mailing List [mailto:vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com]On Behalf Of VWNut Hawk Sent: December 11, 2003 8:55 AM To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Subject: Manual Transmission, what to do?
I posted some of this before but I need to decide what I'm doing and do it. I have a 7 year old Mofocco rebuild manual transmission in a 1984 Vangon. It just started popping out of 4th gear. Can go about a mile and it wants to pop out if I accelerate a little or vary speed. So should I take it to a tranmission shop locally? (They probably don't know about the 3/4 slider gear problem and would put factory parts in?) Or should I order a remanufactured one from who? I know Bus Depot carries them. FastGerman has them? Just Vee Dubs etc. Who is the best? I have a new Boston 2.1 in this Van so the cost isn't the biggest issue. I'd like the strongest rebuild possible. Thanks. John. |
