My '91 Carat locked in 4th gear the other day but I carefully made it home.   Last eve I bit the bullet and dropped out the transmission....quite easy as trannies go, took me about 1 1/2 hours.
Van on axle-stands on the driveway...what a sad sight.
I would like to be able to work on the tranny myself so I have been studying Bentleys.  It doesnt look too bad...IF you have 1 or 2 essential tools.  Reading Toms article confirms this too.
Where can I get the VW 381/14 and 381/15 tools from ?
Does anybody have them I could rent or borrow ?
Tom's article says BugPak but I havent located them yet.
Can anybody help?
Am I crazy for wanting to try ?
Should I swap the whole thing for Auto ?   The wife would like that.
cheers,
