<P>I've had mine rebuilt at my house, no big deal. The thing is to be organized and very clean. If the van has a lot of miles, be careful with the torque converter, mine has caused a lot of trouble, and was rebuilt. Buy a good quality rebuild kit and clean the valve body really good. If you're good with engines and can follow the Bentley, I don't see why not do it yourself.</P>

<P>Folks, </P></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>You may or may not have seen either of my queries about auto tranny
<DIV></DIV>issues.
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>Anyway, how bad are these auto trannies to rebuild? I'm pretty good,
<DIV></DIV>mechanically, but I know nothing about these slush-box transmissions.
<DIV></DIV>Do I have any chance at all to take this thing out, rebuild it, put it
<DIV></DIV>back in and have it work? I have the Haynes, and the Bentley.
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>My favorite local VW shop is quoting me big $$$ for the rebuild. I
<DIV></DIV>understand the $$$, it seems like a tedious job that could take a long
<DIV></DIV>time...time is $$$.
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>Thanks for any input.
