Buddy you aint emailing me,You will find these 2 lt kombies have had very hard lives you'll struggle to find any kind of good deal on a s/h 2lt box,I have had experience in rebuilding 2lt kombi engines last one took 4to make one,the mainsshaft bearings are very common failues in these boxs and i've seen some where the housing is unusable.Don't know what $3000 gets you but im guessing if you pull your box apart and it needs oh i don't know bearings i'd probally try any of the major chains that sell bearings what do you recon?Failing that imo dave buttler on thegoldcoast is the only place that ever gets my money for gearbox work he's done plenty,has lots of usable 2nd hand parts but cheap and vw are like cheap and valiant unheard of thesedays.A mate just bought a porsche901 5speed had been opened and what needed to be fixed for 2500,considered an arron roberts auto?
