<x-rich>Hi, Griff Crammond tells us that he had Squareback with auto trans. My 1972 Squareback, now with 54k miles has same trans. What most peoples think about the longevity of this transmission? I have a spare transmission and original repair kits and would like to know where is the reputable shop which repairs these transmissions. <fontfamily><param>Helvetica</param>Kind regards Ark Mirvis Hopatcong, NJ 07843 Tel.

I met some of you at the Invasion in Myrtle Creek this year. You may remember that we (wife Kris and I) started out in our '71 Squareback but decided to continue on to Oregon in the 2000 New Beetle TDI after the T3 fuel pump let us down. Home is on Lake Erie in Erie Township MI (southeast MI., just north of Toledo OH) the locals say it is small drinking village with a fishing problem. The car is a 1971 Squareback....Kansas Beige exterior, black interior with a 1776 and dual-carbs, converted from the original FI system about two years ago. I have owned the car for approx. ten years--having owned a '72 squareback FI automatic before this. We have a 2004 Mexi Beetle as the only other ACVW. Previous ACVW's included a 78 1/2 T2 and several late '60's Beetles. We had a great time at the invasion--met some outstanding people there and along the way. Peace, Griff Crammond P.S. Thanks for fixing the 'glitch', Greg! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ </excerpt> </x-rich>
