You can still move the car around with the tranny removed, just make sure to cover the CV joints (I use a plastic sandwich bag held on with a rubber band or twist-tie). I recommend you have a professional do your tranny work. Special tools and precise tolerances are required in tranny work. Parts should be available...at worst you can use a Type I tranny (I've been doing so for years with no problems at all).

Question: Since I am taking the car apart, what is the collective wisdom of the list regarding whether it is worthwhile/possible to tear into the transmission to replace worn synchros between gears 1,2 and 2,3?...From the looks of the teardown in Bentley, synchro replacement looks like quite a job. Are the synchros, as replacment parts, still available? ------------------------------------------------------------------- Too much? Digest! mailto:type3-d-request@vwtype3.org Subj=subscribe
