New guy intro and Lookin for a transaxle

[vw_85roccoZ400 at hotmail.com (Brian Spinney)]

Welcome aboard Andy,

I myself am still a newer guy to the list, although I been on it for 3 years 
I used to only lurk & read the email never respond to any.
But these guy & girl will take you in, and sooner or later you will feel 
right in place.

Looks like you got yourself a pretty sweet Scirocco and its Mars Red..

As for the transmission, I didn't pay 750 dollars to get my tranny rebuilt 
by a vw tech, so there price for a used one is outrageous.

I guess I will be the first to inform you to keep your calendar open the 
first weekend in June for the Scirocco.org GTG in Cincy.

>> Hi everybody!

>> My name is Andy and I've got a 84 Rocco.  About 2 weeks ago I

>>
>> So now I'm looking for a replacement trans. I'm in East
>> Lansing, MI and the car is back at my folks place in
>> Rochester. I called up that VW Parts Place in Auburn Hills
>> and they said $700+ for a Rocco close ratio and $400+ for a
>> rabbit trans. I figure I could get a better price from someplace else.
>>
>> So anyone got something in the garage collecting dust? :)

>> Thanks,
