Ben Durie Automotive?

Ben recommended Shimmo whoever that is! Ben is by far my first choice for VW help in Newcastle, he's helped me out a lot over the years.

Shimmo works at dunhams automotive down in wollongong. Best box man around!

Henry Spicack is just him, no company.

hmmm been told a grand, sound reasonable?

Yes, could cost more if major parts need replacing.
Will have to wait 'till it's apart to assess.
Remember that tranny is over 30 years old.

Our 2litre box cost $1500 to get all new bearings, sychros and a crown & pinion gearset for the diff.
