Now a tranny rebuild question

[rabbitman]

I've got a FF tranny that needs a rebuild, 3rd and 4th syncros are completely gone.

Has anyone heard of/bought from this place? http://www.zelek.com/VW020_Hard_Parts.htm
Are they quality parts? I see they have a ring gear bolt kit for $50 that's a lot cheaper than anywhere else I've found.


I'm having a hard time figuring out if their parts will fit my early/pre '84 tranny.........

Oops, that was weird, I think I mustuv mixed up some linking I was doing.

Except for the fact that you live in AK, I can't believe it's worth the effort to rebuild an 020.  There are still plenty of them around that have lots of life left in them.  Heck, I have about 5 of them stashed away myself...

Don't you ever take vacations?

Indeed! And if you wanna talk about getting hard to find... try finding B-platform transmission parts...

Or subframe bushings.

VWs are everywhere here. people just drive them till the first thing goes wrong, then they scrap it.
