Subject:      Vanagon Transmission/Transaxle?  (No gun content)
Content-Type: text/plain

  I have an 89 Vanagon Carat with AT, 188K miles.  The seal between the
auto trans and final drive/transaxle been replaced twice previously. Now
once again I have excess oil level in the transmission.  The trans oil
dipstick has bubbles . The transaxle was 1 pint low. I topped it off.

                  The first time I replaced the seal between transmission
and transaxle myself. This lasted 40k miles.  The second time I had it
done by a local mechanic, thinking that I had done something wrong the
first time. Now it appears to have failed again. I tried searching the
archives on this but gave up trying after trying for over an hour.

                  I would appreciate you explanations of how to do this
repair  and what causes it to fail so often.          TIA
