Hey guys! The transmission in my '85 Vanagon is whining and I've been told it's the pinion gear. I've also been told that my best bet is to find a used one and switch it out, in lieu of having it repaired. Is this true? If so, does anyone out there have one they are willing to sell and subsequently UPS to Hampton Va. Also, how difficult will it be for someone with moderate mechanical skills to install one. In other words, would I be better of paying a professional to do the work. John Maxey '85 Vanagon '65 Ghia Coupe
