This is my first post to the list.  I have a 1982 aircooled Westfalia and just lost forth gear,  well I actually found fourth gear teath on the drain plug so I know where it went. :)   Trying to locate a "local" rebuilder in North Carolina who does vanagon manual transmissions.  The ring and pinion still look good and all the other gears are still working so I think its a good rebuildable core.  If not local who does a good job rebuilding these things for a fair price.  I found Rancho Performance industries in California who will do the job for $550 plus shipping.  Anyone have any experience with the quality of there work.  Should I insist on all new bearings?  What weak points should I upgrade now while its out.
