Subject:Pulling vanagon auto trans.
From:Don Record
Date:Tue, 26 Jun 2001 06:15:55 EDT

Well folks,
My rebuilt auto trans for our 87 westi will arrive this week so its time to
pull the old one.   I have done many repairs on water and aircooled VWs over
the years but this one is new to me.  I plan to pull the trans with the
engine still in, split the final drive from the auto portion, install the new
auto, change the fluid in the final drive and re-install.  Anyone out there
done this and have any tips, suggestions, or warnings.?

As a side note, thanks to Ken Wilfy for recommending German Transaxle in
Oregon.  They actually had a rebuilt in stock and shiped it out Fed Ex the
same day.

Thanks
