Wow... thats just crazy talk. $10k... Wow...

I'd be checking out the prices for a rebuilt unit if you want to stick with Auto.

Wow... 10k...

Mate forget about talking to VW. Any price they give you will be pointless as VR6's are only worth a few grand these days. Personally I always try to avoid the dealership when getting parts or work done on my car, there is no need to go there.

I got a replacement transmission put in by Pringle's in South Melbourne, they did a good job. They sourced a transmission for me with only about 100xxxkms on it. Any other parts you need to do a swap just research them and find them yourself.

yehh its hard now i gotta take a train to work gotta work out what to do now

[Jarred]

if the engine and car is worth it, (keeping, ie extras on it, body's good, int is mint etc) and you can drive manual, i'd seriously consider doing a manual conversion.

Then you will never have problems with you auto playing up ever again!
