Subject:      need help Transmission trouble in Newfoundland
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

1991 Vanagom with 212000km. original. No transmission work or service before. (am 2nd owner). Drove across the continent with no problems..til now. Transmission began to leak (gush) in Newfoundland. No autohaus recommendations for here. Shop I got it flatbedded to says torque seal leaking a lot and to replace it they need to remove transmission. Once they have it out they will see if torque needs replacing too. My questions are 1) does this seem reasonable? 2) does anyone have any experience with the gowesty transmission oil cooler kit..and should I try to get one And have it installed while the transmission is out? The shop is now in touch with nearest VW dealer about 1000km away to see if they have a seal to send. Any response to my questions greatly appreciated. No Fido cell service here can be contacted at laurelundtescoreradley@yahoo.ca
