I never heard this happen 3 times on any tranny.  Even in a Automactic.
The page didn't say if he had a manual or an auto, so I'm going to assume the 
Manual.  Unless he never used the clutch to engage his tranny it shouldn't be 
doing that.

 I am assuming they are just rebuilding the same tranny over and over again, 
and doing it wrong.  After all, how many times has anyone rebuilt a TT tranny 
anyways?
A new 89 200 auto tranny is about 1500 bones, I can't even imagine how much a 
new tranny for a TT could cost.  So it could be badly rebuilt.
