Hi Jeff,

        I did not have a great experience with German Transaxle.  Parts failed, and the gear box failed.  I had my transmission out three times. 

I have a Rancho Manual in my 84 and it is working great. 

On the East Coast Matt Stedle I may be spelling it wrong, has a stellar reputation.  If I have transmission issues I’ll probably have hime do the work.  I have a working used Auto trans in reserve. 

You have to share your story!
