Does the Bentley book tell more? Yes, the Bentley has a very good description, but this is probably the hardest thing on the car to tackle. I've never taken one apart, but I'm sure it can be done. I don't know about parts, but an AT repair shop can probably get you anything you might need. > By the way, the > original tranny is a 003 321 105A and the second tranny is a 003 321 105D.

The earliest ATs had a different kind of side cover, which is more of a problem to deal with. Stick with the later style if you can. The Bentley manual has good descriptions of the various differences, and there are several. Some parts should not be mixed between ATs. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe? mailto:type3-request@vwtype3.org, Subject: unsubscribe
