Sounds good John!
I figure we could probably get 4 to 6 folks on the list. (or how ever  many:o)
Coordinate & set up a time to start.
Order parts, pull Tranny's & rebuild reasonably close, time  wise,
with everyone else.
We can even shoot off digital Pic's to everybody,
to show procedures & Solutions, as we go at it.
We should also write up how we do it, with pic's etc,
and put it in a folder somewhere, to share with the List!
(Power Point Presentation? :o)
I've never rebuilt an AT before, but I was told by a friend
who has done a few of them, that it's not too bad.
talk to you soon,

Hi All,
I thought it might be a good  idea,
to have a group AT rebuild project?
That way we could share tech  info,
methods & procedures?
We could do it over P-mail,
and just  use the list for unusual
problems we might encounter.
P-mail, if  interested.

We have an overhaul kit for the Vanagon Auto  Transmission.  The  part
number in our webstore is 010398007KIT  and it sells for $140.  Hope  this
helps,
