Re: Price on a 4K tranny, or, how much will replacing myoutput shaft bearings cost?

["Victor Farren" <vfarren@rrs.cdie.org>]

I had my trans rebuilt by a VW mechanic for $350 (labor charges only).  The trans was completely rebuilt w/ new seals, synchros, bolt kit, new 0.8 5th gear and Quaiffe!  He did this in his spare time when he wasn't working at the dealership.

Seeing as how my tranny leaks copious amounts of Mobil1 tranny lube
everywhere I go, I'm in need of replacing my output shaft bearings (as
are other listers).  I don't want to do it, and I think I'll take it to
the local VW gurus and have them tear it apart.  Any idea how much labor
is involved in the repair?  Would I be better off getting a new (used)
tranny?
Also, any body shoppers out there have any idea if bosy shops will cut
the holes for my fender-mount directionals?  I haven't had time to stop
by the body shop yet to see if they'll do it.
Thanks,
Nate
