[V8] Manual tranny needs rebuild

[quattro + 5 or 8 = fun]

Call

Forrest at
German Transaxle Service
800.892.4327


Only talk to Forrest.  His staff says they don't do V8qs.  But, they do.
And they do a FINE job.

Shipping both ways and labor was about $900.  GTS is in Portland OR.


Also try Bill at Botzon's Automotive.  Bill is semi-retired.  So he is not
always in.  Tammy or Bud will likely answer the phone.  Tell them Shayne
told you to call.  Bill specialized in automatics.  But has done a host of
"odd" manual tranny's.  If he can't do the tranny he will tell you.  He is
SUPERB at what he does.  509.928.4747.  He is also cheap.  The last tranny
he did for me required major work.  Charged me $300.  He is in Spokane, WA.
