Subject:Transmission woes - '91 Carat autotranny won't shift into 3rd.

The saga continues. My mechanic has run out of ideas. Doesn't know what
else to do, and being essentially an engine rebuild specialist, suggests I
get it to a transmission shop and have them check it out. S far all local
shops but one turned me down. I got everything from "we don't work on VW'S
of any kind" to " our insurance doesn't cover vanagons". I think basically
they just don't wan't to do Vanagons. The one exception was AAMCO
Transmissions of Birmingham. They are a franchise outfit, and said they
would do it, but for this area I thought the pricing a little high,'  like
$1500 to $1800.

Anyone experienced with people?
