VW/Borg Warner added some accumulators to the trans to improve the harshness of the shifting. With a Bentley manual, and if you can find a genuine VW 'Dasher" manual, you should be able to fix it yourself. The Dasher manual is Very, Very good when it comes to the automatic trans, and they are basicly the same trans. You need a very clean place, and plenty of room to spread things and keep track of where they go. I used to rebuild them when I worked for the dealers, and they are not that hard. Just time consuming and very meticulate. -- Russ Wolfe '71 Fastback AT '66 Fastback MT (IT RUNS) russw@classicvw.org http://www.classicvw.org ------------------------------------------------------------------- Search old messages on the Web!
