Are you sure it is the tranny? Manual or automatic? Not moving at or stuck
in a gear or what?
In general a dealer is not the best option for trans work. If a manual a
better option may be to get a tranny shop to put in a used one. Maybe you
really just lost a cv joint!

All,
  While travelling on business, my Jetta's transmission gave up the ghost.
Anyone know if the VW stealer here is trustworthy?  Anyone know of any
reputable VW shops that I could work with in the Jax area?  I was going to
do the AAA tow deal so I checked into membership and of course, the fine
print got me as they have a three day waiting period after payment
processing BEFORE roadside services become available.  Can't say I blame
them but it sucks.

Thanks,

TJ
