Hello Bob,

I specialize in rebuilding VW transaxles and have several '80-'83 style
transaxles
in my core selection.  While I can rebuild one and ship to you pronto I would
suggest
that you try and find someone local with a good reputation.   The main reason
for
this is the  cost of shipping.  I'd figure on approx. $65+ to crate and ship
to you.
Also, if you are in a jam for time then you'd have to add a couple of days at
least for transport.  Then you'd have to reship to me the core and its
associated
costs to avoid the core charge.  (Presently that style of 091 transaxle runs
me
$175 at a wrecking yard).  And last but not least is the human factor.  While
I
believe that my product is one of the best that you can buy there is always
the
possiblity that something will not work as planned.  If that should occur then
with
a local rebuilder you can discuss it face to face and he can check and see if
it
is something minor that can be adjusted without resorting to pulling the new
trans out of the Van.  I am more than willing to answer any questions you may
have- even if you elect not to go with me.  I charge $699.95 for a rebuilt 091
transaxle that comes with a 12 month unlimited mileage warranty.  If you are
interested in purchasing a transaxle from me or just have some questions then
please do not hesistate to post me a note.  Good luck with your search and
I'll
see you on the 'net!
