RE: Note on tranny rebuilders

["Don Walter" <DonW@cati.com>]

Not trying to change your opinion of Shawn but he has been very good to
me.  I have a transmission from him for my '86 16V and he allowed me to
change the final gear ratio from 3.67 to 3.94 and the final gear from
.91 to .89 for no extra charge.  Any problems he was very quick to take
care of.  As a reseller (of CAD software) I can understand that offering
free information doesn't put money in your pocket.  I am sorry to hear
that he didn't help you.

By the way can you share the contact information about Darrell?

Subject: Note on tranny rebuilders


OK kids; I have seen alot about tranny rebuilders lately. I will offer
up my 
2 cents seeing as how I just did one in a turbo rabbit.

I was installing a Quaife and noticed that the washers for the drive
flanges 
wouldnt fit between the clip and that flange. I then proceeded to
contact 
Autotech when they promptly put me on hold and shuffled me through about
4 
people before they told me to call Kraftsworks. I then called them
"Shawn" 
answers and gets impatient with my inquiries. He then proceeds to hang
up on 
me. I was polite and sober ;-) I dont know if he was feeling
uncomfortable 
about my questions or if he is just a dick. Either way I will not EVER
deal 
with Kraftsworks due to REALLY bad PR.

On another note I would like to offer up an alternative to them. I know
this 
guy named Darrell. HE does ONLY VW trannies and does a good job. He 
warranties his stuff for 3 years and unlimited amounts of mileage. HE is

very helpful if you ask him q's. On all 16V rebuilds he installs the
factory 
bolt kit in the ring gear. He ships. I know the Vanagon list knows who
he is 
but I jsut wanted you guys to know also.
