When Daryl was around, he and Matt (both) at AA Trans in Duvall rebuilt =
mine. I have about 70K on it and I beat the snot out of it with my 1.8T =
powered tin top. I have always been happy with AA's work.=20

Subject: 5sp transmission rebuild?

I've finally got money saved to have my 5sp tranny rebuilt but I'm =
undecided now about where to send/take it to have the work done...German =
trans in Bend is "quoting" me $1900 with a big core fee, and they want =
to dismantle mine before they will give me an actual estimate on =
anything...
    The "other" shop in duval, Wa.  Their starting quote is attractive, =
they're a little further away from me.

  I'm a bit gun-shy about having a strange business dismantle my =
transmission with a "blank check".... "We'll look at it, and then tell =
you how much it'll cost?". I understand that, but sheesh! .they'd have =
my tranny and they could easily decide to maximize their take ($) with =
my tranny apart and on their bench 200 miles away.
   Has anyone else had either of these shops do a 5 sp rebuild on a 2wd =
Vanagon transmission?
    I am hearing whining noise in all gears...no popping out or shifting =
problems with any gears, but this transmission has been getting noisier =
for some time... It's now noticeable louder when I roll down a =
window....past time to have it done.  I want to get the van back...
  Any experienced 5sp 2wd tranny service feedback for me?  Don Hanson
