You're right, the beetle AT is completely different; it really isn't an AT at all. Is your nephew having some problem with his AT? They are generally quite reliable. I would only suggest that he check to make sure that the ATF and gear oil levels are correct. The ATF can be checked from above, but the differential is separate and must be checked from below; this is an important thing to check. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
