Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

My main thing eating away at me is the gearbox. 1st gear is noisy, but again maybe not obvious to alot of people, but if you know what you are listening for any mechanic or Volks expert will pick it. It seems like the best option is a rebuild which I am being pointed to approx $2k - ouch.

Any suggestions or any contacts would be great.

Thanks again

JB
