        Its worth a lot more than the cost of fixing the trans.  Call
Transform  in Long Beach Ca., area code is 562, I have been talking to
them about a place that rebuilds autos at a reasonable price.
        Transform has ads in the VW mags but they dont do automatic trannies,
they should refer you to the other rebuilder.
