I believe there's a number of special tools required to rebuild a transaxle. Isn't really cost effective to buy them if you aren't going to rebuild quite a few.

The factory manual reprint by Bentley for my beetle has an extensive section on disassembling and reassembling the transmission, although not a rebuilding manual per se. I assume the one for your model, which is 466 pages long, probably has the same section:

Just buy a used trans - they are inexpensive as there are lots of rusted out bugs and the trans rarely goes bad. If you have special gears they can be moved to the new one.
