Any competent local shop should be able to handle this transmission. It is a very simple unit.

Subject: Automatic Rebuilder

It seems like the automatic in Pooh, an 87 Westy, is on its last legs with just under 200k.  It is slipping pretty badly, and I can’t find the recommended auto tranny rebuilders in the archives.  Any advice?  I know AA only does manuals.  Go Westy’s price is pretty steep, and I no longer see Ron listing an option on his Bus Depot site.

Best,
