New guy intro and Lookin for a transaxle

[raveracer77 at yahoo.ca (raveracer77)]

Ron!  It's funny you should say these things at this time.  Not more then 2 hours ago I burned up my 5th gear in my GLI.  I want to put in an old MK2 Jetta/Golf Turbo Deisel Pre direct injection Tranny (I think it's a 2Y).  Wanna know if you might have one.

  Welcome New Guy - 

  I'm an old guy - not as old as Chuck but still, older - and boy, do I have trannies...what are you
  looking for ratio wise?  how fast do you need it?  (because that's sometimes an issue with me). We
  can discuss $$ offline - but I have been wanting to build out several of the cases I have.

  LMK, and again, welcome
