Your mechanic will not see anything from outside the trans, of course, and will need to remove and disassemble it. If he is a VW mechanic worth his salt he will already be aware of this problem area on the 091 style gearboxes. If he just stares at you blankly when you mention this to him then I would find another mechanic to work on your vehicle. Todd Hill VolksWerks Transaxles Olympia, WA |
