Zach,

I have dealt with both vendors and would recommend either as a great
solution.

However, In my experience,  at the top of competence, customer service 
 and giving back to the community is Daryl of AA Transaxle.

In the last couple of months a few friends and I were looking for 
 ways to help a couple of Van owners get their Disabled Vanagons back on 

 the road via our "Pay it Forward Fund".

www.roadhaus.com/PIF.html

One project involved getting and installing a tranny and the other a tranny
and engine

On the first project I went to Daryl to see if he could help in any way.  He
joyfully said ... "You Bectha" and in the end he was key to our success and
zero dollars went into his  pocket.

On the second and (current in progress project) I didn't contact Daryl ...
Because  he had done so much previously.

But he contacted me .... "Hey I could Help Here" he volunteered.

Thanks to Daryl and his friend George at PorBug we are on our way to
completing  the second project.

A more honorable and involved member of our community you will not find.

Please consider rewarding this behavior by giving him a shot at your
business.

Subject: transmission rebuilders - any last-minute advice?

Well, I am ready to spend the $$$ and get my trans rebuilt..  I have looked
into to both AA Transaxle and German Transaxle, both seem to be competent
and well recommended, but there is a definate price difference especially
when you factor in shipping...

So, before I take the plunge does anyone have any last minute cautions or
recommendations?  Either technical or pertaining to which vendor I use?
