Kathy, I had a similar problem on my '84. = Local VW dealer want $$$ to fix. My independent mechanic fixed for = $30. The O-ring on the opener to the governor was bad. He took the round = disk to a tranny shop, and they sold him the right O-ring.

Subject: Auto Tranny = leaking

We have a 87 GL with an automatic = Transmission. We have taken the motor out and transmission out to replace several = things to get it to stop leaking.

We took a trip in = it a couple of weeks ago and have to keep putting transmission fluid in it = on a constantly. It was all over the back window and motor. Ordered a = torque converter seal and he dropped the motor again to replace that. Put it = back in and drove it around town and no leaks, but when we decided to head out = on our trip to the Volunteer Bug Jam it started again(amongst over things). = It is not leaking as bad as before, as we did not have to stop from Atlanta to = Valdosta to put fluid in it. I have not even unloaded to check where it is on = the drip stick yet.

Does anyone have any = suggestions? We are going to try and fix this problem so we can sale it. I hate to do = that, but we are really tired of having to fix things on it constantly.
