Hi all;well, it was a wild 75K miles (you helped Dean), but I must admit I'm disappointed in  the rebuilt transaxel FAS put in my '87 Westy.   So I'm thinking of the replacement.  The wife and I are heading out West this spring to visit friends in Mesa AZ, do the Grand Circle and surrounding area, Rocky Mtns. and a wedding in Ft. Collins.  When I do the switch is still to be determined, since only a whine now exists, maybe in 1st and 2nd.  So my question is, what is the list feeling on tranny rebuilders?  I am aware of more than a few, and have some possible favorites, but I want to know what others have experienced.  75K seems pretty slim to me.  I was expecting/hoping for twice that.  Maybe that's unrealistic for a rebuild.  On the other hand, it's only $ .031per mile.
