What parts do you need?  All the soft automatic parts ( clutches, bands,
seal, pistons, etc.) are available through a local transmission shop.  They
are not that expensive. As an example of the price difference from the
dealer, the 2nd gear brake ban from VW is about $140.00.  The same band from
the local Trans. shop will be about $30.00.
