Re: Der Kleiner Panzers
BoydD=> Der Kleiner Panzers in Arizona 

I'm pretty well connected with the VW club scene here, and I've never 
heard of this group. If you can give me some more details -- who they 
are/were, what they're into, old address, what you're looking for -- 
I'll see what I can find out.

You definitely need someone who knows VW transaxles well, and I imagine 
there's at least one guy in your quarter of OZ who can help. I'm no 
expert, but since this happened "suddenly," I'd expect that you need an 
adjustment or very mild rebuild -- an operation that the proposed 
replacement would probably need, too. I'd pass on the backyard mechanics 
and look for someone who's over 50 and has been working on VWs for 30 
years or more. I wouldn't expect this guy to come cheap, however.
