Hello All. Just joined the list and thought =
I'd see if
anyone knows a source for a rebuilt automatic transmission for an 84 =
Vanagon
(Westy) with a 1.9L gas engine. I haven't looked into local shops =
yet (NW
Florida) because I'm kind of skeptical about letting just any local =
tranny shop
tear into the VW transaxle. Looking at the Bentley manual it =
appears one
may need a bit of specialized tools, knowledge, and parts above and =
beyond
normal tranny work. My tranny's not terminal yet, but it slips a =
bit when
first starting in the morning, and is worse as the temperature drops =
(really
slips at sub-freezing temperatures). Anyone have any success or =
failure
stories or advice?
