Any good VW shop in Portland will simply send your transmission to German
Transaxle in Bend, or you can go there yourself and have a mini vacation for
the $300 it will cost to ship your core there and the rebuilt unit back to
Portland.  www.germantransaxle.com

Subject: Transmission issue

I have a 1987 Wolfsburg Carat tin top
With auto transmission problems.
In the morning when cold,
I start the van in park & it lurches forward.   When I leave from work 8
hours later, I put her in reverse to pull straight out of my parking
space-she stalls or dies the first try.
Do any of you have a recommendation for a transmission shop in the Vancouver
Portland area??  I looked at the mechanic list you all put together but, I
don't see a transmission shop in my area.
Thanks for any thoughts!!
