Bug Me Video How-to DVD, Volume 5 Transmission Replacement, by Rick Higgins

|
|
Volume 5: Features the removal and replacement of older Volkswagen swing axle transmission and the newer Independent Rear Suspension (I.R.S.) transmission. 105 minutes. All the decisions and aspects of when you are either rebuilding a transaxle, or exchanging it. As usual, outstanding video and narration, and Rick Higgins makes it look really easy. You can save a LOT of $ by doing the job yourself after watching this one. Since used and rebuilt Transmissions are still readily available for the VW at Prices that are barely more than the cost of the parts to rebuild them, we are producing this video to show how to exchange your transmission. Later we go inside on a rebuild!
