Daniel,

I installed one built by Darly at aatransaxle(aatransaxle@direcway.com)this spring and am completely satisfied with it to date. Our van is an 87 Westy Syncro running stock sized tires/wheels and is used mainly for camping trips, though I have been driving it to work this summer. I had Daryl swap out third and fourth gears to lower our operating rpm and love it, we now cruise 70mph at approx. 3400rpm. Daryl kept in contact with us both prior to and after he shipped the transmission and has been great to work with. If I needed another transmission I would not hesitate to call him.
