Re: dead scirocco(tranny)



When I install a new/different trans I also like to replace the T.O. bearing
(of course), the push rod bushing and seal and inspect the push rod for
flatness on the ends (if so, get a new one).  You can also replace the main
shaft seal if you are so inclined but it is a pain.  HTH!!
