Subject:90 Automatic Trans Problems
From:Tony Perkins
Date:Sat, 30 Jan 1999 22:05:07 EST

I'm new to the list so please pardon my ignorance.
Does anybody else have automatic transmission problems?
I had the transmission rebuilt at 99,000 miles.
Then I had the differential rebuilt at 100,000 miles.
Then I had the transmission rebuilt again at 140,000miles.
I've got 160,000 miles & I am getting worried again (it doesn't want to shift
into 3rd gear until its warmed up).
Is this a common malady?
VW wanted about 2800 plus installation so I had a local shop do the work.
I'm afraid of AAMCO because of horror stories from other people.
Is it time to wave good-bye to my (wife's) beloved Vanagon?
