If you have a place to work, and a standard toolbox, you might consider overhauling the auto tranny yourself. There is sufficient history in the archives to support the "iminent do-ability" of auto-tranny overhaul as a home shop project. Not so with the manual tranny, which requires special jigs to get reassembled and adjusted just right. I think history is proving out that the Vanagon auto tranny is a stronger, more trouble free transmission than the manual tranny. The reverse is true of the '72 and earlier buses, in which the auto trannies were problematical.
