Dear Listees:
    Fourth gear on my vanagon is gone (acts like its in neutral).  I looked in the latest VW Trends magazine to check out prices and availability.  I saw Fast German Auto, Quality German Auto Parts, GEX, and a small ad from a company called KCR in Riverside, CA.  Does anyone out there have any positive or negative experiences with any of these companys' rebuilt transmissions (especially KCR)?  I would also consider purchasing a used transmission from a list member if the price is reasonable.  Final question--does anyone know what a "metal intermediary plate" is in regards to its usage in a rebuilt transmission.  A mechanic told me to make sure any rebuilt transmission I buy has one, but none of the transmission people I have talked to know what I am talking about.  Please respond directly to me at "chiang1@usa.net".  Thanks!!
