I recently purchased a 996 and handed the teener down to my son. I’ve been putting off doing any trans work until it grenaded while he was driving it yesterday.
I can row through all of the gears with my foot off the clutch and the car at a standstill. Towing it home, it sounded like a coffee can full of rocks… So sadly, the car is sitting in the garage until I find a good shop… I swore to my friends & family (just 2 days ago) that my wrench turning days were over so I’d really prefer to flatbed it somewhere rather than pull the transaxle myself. The hands have finally healed up after paint & body, lol. Anyone with experience @ aatransaxle.com in Duvall??? Any other recommendations? Thanks! |

A long time repair shop,a good rep,a straight shooter. Just a few klicks up the road,pull it for you too. I am sure you will be satisfied with the service. The downtime to re+re the box if it's important that the originality is retained is likely 3+ weeks. If the box is damaged beyond repair,a replacement might be sourced from them. |

You will have to beg to get Mark to rebuild it as I did for my ghia transmission and wait months for him to find time to slip it in to his schedule. AAtransaxle does Vanagon Syncro rebuilds and transaxle mods now for the whole North America and are swamped. Contact RichD to see if he has a good used spare in storage... |
