Can you tell me who was your source for this rebuilt trannie (manual or automatic?). I'd like to avoid this one...
Date: Mon, 12 Jan 2004 14:52:18 -0800 From: Art McGinn <ajmcginn@EARTHLINK.NET> Subject: transmission life expectancy? at one time, the vw transaxle was described as "bulletproof," capable of 100,000 miles and perhaps much more of reliable service before it needed fixing or replacement. is this still true, or was it ever? i am looking at the likely need for a replacement of a rebuild after only 27,000 miles -- and extremely easy ones, at that -- and that seems like not much service from that rebuild. anybody getting anything like 100,000 from an original or rebuild vanagon transmission? while living in california, i am tempted to go out-of-state to aa transmissions in seattle area in search of a quality product. anybody had any experience with aa, particularly longevity of its product (i assume they are very nice etc.). please respond to aa transmission query by private email, ajmcginn@earthlink.net. thanks and cheers, art mcginn, '82 westy, san fran
