I hate to disagree, but I think it is unnecessary to send out any part for relining or such. A complete rebuild kit for a type III A/T is $90 and includes all seals and clutches. The only things not included are the brake bands. These are about $15 each new. For these price I wouldn't mess with relining For purchasing these parts I can recommend the Company "Transmart" here in Alabama (Florence). They also have a web page. Most parts in the kit were original VW (I don't know how they do it). They can also build torque converters from scratch. A/T's are great.
