Goodness Gracious.


I bought a rebuilt transmission for the Vanagon and it lasted less than a year before it failed. Took it to a local mechanic and he said Oh! It's such and such bearing and rebuilt it again and it leaked ever since then. Now, a little more than a year later again I have only first and third. Maybe fourth? Definitely no second.


Enough. I feel like I can't trust anyone. I mean I paid these people what they asked...


So, if anyone has a core transmission I can rebuild myself so I can KNOW it is done right and at least have only myself to blame if it isn't, I'll take any lead you have.


Thank you all in advance.

That sucks, I'll keep an eye out.  Try contacting Daryl in NC. ( I don't have his number) I heard he just picked up a few vanagons.
