My guess is they get them from Europe or South Africa.

bu the price !! .............no, must be a misunderstanding, , I don't
want to buy a *whole Vanagon* , i just want to guy a 5 speed
transmissions for one.
( perhaps they are rebuilt though, hopefully at that price )

>  Anyone know how Tiico is coming up with their advertised 5-speed transmissions? I sent them an inquiry a while back but it went unanswered. Dary, are you around? I tried the email addresss on your website and it seems to not work. The Tiico ad says:
>
>   5 speed transmissions for 2 wheel drive with 4.83 ring & pinion with .77 5th. Only $2895.00 plus freight and return of 4 speed core. Add $495.00 for 4.57 ring & pinion.
