[Vwdiesel] Re: Tranny source parts

[Marvin Jansen]

Mitchell Service in Duncanville, AL ( 1-205-752-0962) has alot of A2 and
other vws in his salvage lot and works on them.  I had him put a clutch in
and it slipped, he put another in after I complained, so be carefull on the
service, but he has a wealth of parts and may have the tranny you are
looking for.  Tell him Marvin Jansen referred you.
