[Vwdiesel] Transmission fluid draining

[LBaird119 at aol.com]

I see nothing in a VW
tranney that even looks like it may need HYPOID lube ?.


  There's a ring and pinioin gear in there.  Angles are different than a 90 
degree set but still a slippage cut gear rather than straight bevel gears.  
Worst part of the tranny is the "crap magnet" is mounted in the rear (as you 
disassemble) body, right next to the rear pinion bearing.  Crap builds up too much 
or breaks loose and there goes the rear pinion bearing.  ALWAYS closely 
inspect or replace and CLEAN the magnet if you have one apart!
