Unless you really blew it up it shouldn't cost $5k for a tranny rebuild. Do some shopping. Any tranny shop that handle the late vw autos should be able to handle this. The 5sps are not the strongest box and have also been known to break.

Me too, but those trannys are $5000 to rebuild, and you still have a piece of junk because it was designed that way.  It's best to just get rid of them (greater fool theory), and that worked for me.

On the Eurovan I sort of have to ask why?

Is anyone familiar with any gotchas  associated with converting an automatic early Eurovan to a manual gearbox?  I have the skill to do it on a Vanagon, but am curious about any ECU/harness pitfalls. 

Chris.
