Pull the driveshafts out and get yourself a new set of seals and bearings. The job can be done with the gearbox still in the car. Talk to Collin again about it, It is a helluva lot less work than pulling the gearbox. There are a few special tools you would need but can probably fabricate them. It has been a while since I did them but the Bentley was pretty good about outlining it. If not, just Google "changing VW gearbox flange seals" and see what you get.......Jack

I have another transmission to swap in, but I wondered how much of a job this is without a lift. Can the trans be replaced easily up on jack stands? I already know I'll need someone to help hold the trans to remove/install. Perhaps I could use my engine lift to support the trans? _______________________________________________ a2-16v-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.a2-16v.com/mailman/listinfo/a2-16v-list
