Re: [OT] need your experience - '88 Cabby

[Night Shadow <soltwede@privateI.com>]

Greg,

Don't balk because it is an automatic, just make sure that the ATF and the
DIFF fluid isn't mixing.  Any competent VW mechanic can fix the problem
for around $400 or so if they are mixing.  That is what kills vw
automatics, letting the fluids mix for too long...the diff grenades.

Now as far as the motor, I have an 88 Cabriolet engine in my 80 rocco, and
yes, it is a JH code motor, BUT it has a hydrolic head! :-) No valve
adjustment anymore! :-)
