Hi, no one commented so I will. that's called the DK . value wise, I'd say 150 at the lower end of the scale. and up to 400 IF it is really, really good... like say only a few years on a rebuild. core value on it could be 250 even , or more. ( IF it's a good core ...you can have one that seems all right, but when a trans shop really looks at the ring and pinion ...if that's badly worn, at least my trans rebuider calls it junk right there ) so it's worth something around that ...................like about 250, if you think it is quiet in all gears, and has good syncro action on all gears. And there isn't anything too awful on the magnetic drain plug. Scott www.turbovans.com

I have an 81 trans that I am looking to part with and have a semi-local buyer interested. Only, I don't know what I should ask. Ran fine when removed, no idea on miles on it. Been told the buggy crowd likes these 6-ribs and Diesel Vanagon owners as well.Any help appreciated. John (in Mass) |
