Can you tell me who was your source for this rebuilt
trannie (manual or automatic?). I'd like to avoid this
one...

Subject: transmission life expectancy?

  at one time, the vw transaxle was described as
"bulletproof," capable of
100,000 miles and perhaps much more of reliable
service before it needed
fixing or replacement. is this still true, or was it
ever? i am looking at
the likely need for a replacement of a rebuild after
only 27,000 miles --
and extremely easy ones, at that -- and that seems
like not much service
from that rebuild. anybody getting anything like
100,000 from an original or
rebuild vanagon transmission?  while living in
california, i am tempted to
go out-of-state to aa transmissions in seattle area in
search of a quality
product. anybody had any experience with aa,
particularly longevity of its
product (i assume they are very nice etc.). please
respond to aa
transmission query by private email,
ajmcginn@earthlink.net. thanks and
cheers, art mcginn, '82 westy, san fran
