So I've done all the checks on my AT and I believe the seal is gone between
the final drive and AT; smelly, dark, overfilled AT and underfilled final
drive (after replacing final drive fluid 1 yr ago)...and I'm wondering 'who
around here can fix this thing?'.  I can remove the drivetrain, separate
the engine from trans, maybe separate AT from final drive but then what?
Do I have a shop rebuild it?  Will they want the van intact before working
the trans?  Does anyone know of a reputable AT rebuilder?  I once owned a
SAAB and it was going to cost me $3500 for a reman tranny...I traded it for
something else but that's another story.
I've read on the archives (search keeps timing out tonight) about AT's from
Golfs or Jettas or Audis being of similar specs that could be used in the
Vanagon application...anyone know the story here?  Any conversions out
there?

Any help is most appreciated.
