Subject:Rebuilt Auto Transmission Source?
From:W. Silva
Date:Sat, 24 Mar 2001 08:54:58 -0500

I guess we need to get our '85 Westy's automatic transmission rebuilt, it
has 240,000 miles on it and is leaking ATF from the vent (?) hole.  Just
where it is initially coming from is hard to tell but in any event we should
probably start thinking about either buying a rebuilt, the whole sootin'
match, or having this one rebuilt. There are no transmissions shops that are
any good around here and the VW dealership has no clue (does that come as a
surprise to anyone?).

I'm hoping to get some insight into the leaking before having to shell out
allot of bucks so anyone with some knowledge on the subject, please pass it
on.

Thanks in advance
