Just my recent personal experience. My manual trans went out,  I actually
consulted AA first, but they were like 6 weeks out.  German Transaxle built
one off the shelf for me and had it to my local shop in about 10 days, with
a Peloquins of course :)  40k mile / 4yr warranty (pro rated), $3,400 total
(my R&P was toast, lost core deposit, original '85 w/ 140k miles).  I drive
some loose sand roads to get to surf spots, the Peloquins is awesome. Can't
wait to try it on snow.
