[T3] Parts People


Hi All
I needed to replace the Vacuum Modulator on my 69 Fastback automatic. I
went to a "national" parts house (autozone) and the young guy just
looked dumb at me when I asked if anyone wanted a tough one.. more dumb
looks. So I walk him through it... the after that he says it's not
available I should try the dealer. I said yes it is available but you
may not list it.. more dumb looks... Ok Thanks.
I go down the street to another parts place (O'Reilly) and a verry nice
young girl trys to look it up, but is just finding emmission stuff. She
goes in the back to check something. Comes back and goes to a differnt
catagory on the computer. Sure enough there its. 69 Type 3 Fastback
Automatic Tranny 003. VM-500 Borg-Warner $14.19 + tax. We payup and
order it and it's in the next day.

Don't give up if one parts house looks at you like a space alien, go to
the next one till you find one who may even have to look in a book if
it's not in the computer.

PS: The manager at Autozone is always helpfull and they have stuff form
my other VW's but he was out to lunch that day.. Big and dumb cost him a
sale 8^)
