A while back I started to get a gringing noise in tight turning situations.
My first thought was wheel bearings (wrong). I took it to my VW mechanic who
I trust and has always been honest and he believes it is the spider gears in
the transaxel. After I started breathing again and began to call for
estimates on transmissions, I called A/A (from the list). He said this is
VERY rare for the spider gears to go bad on these. Now I'm worried. I don't
want to buy a trans for nothing! So specifically I have a BAD gringing noise
in parking lot situations. I can drive all day in a staight line and normal
turns onto streets without a problem. Has anyone come across this. Oh yea
this is a 87' Syncro with 187,000 on trans and 50k 0n engine. Any guidance
or previouse experience with this would be appreciated. Thanks again...

Randy
