WTB: 1.44 3rd gear set

[nocones77-vw at yahoo.com (nocones77-vw@yahoo.com)]

Begging the group for parts twice in one week!

So, it seems that the 1.44 3rd gear I so badly wanted to swap into my 4 speed had been standing too close to 2nd gear when it blew chunks, and was thereby rendered useless. Both gears in the pair have a nice big notch on every tooth....just about big enough to accomodate a visiting tooth from over yonder. I blew up that transmission some three years ago, and hung on to it mostly just hoping I could salvage those particular gears. :(

Any of you transmission rebuild gurus out there got a spare set you'd like to trade for some beer money? AFAIK, this could be 3rd gear out of any "close ratio" transmission, as well as a few others. According to the gear chart that would be: 4Y, 9A, ACD, AEN, FK, FM, FD, 2H, 4K, AGB, 2Y, AUG, or AWY.

Fortunately the final drive survived the carnage intact (the only other part I wanted out of the old gal). Just gotta get it to the local machine shop to shorten it down to 4-speed specs...
