| Looking for referrals from the Eurovan community on good knowledgeable mechanics to do a Transmission rebuild in a 2001 Eurovan. Looking for shops in the Northeast United States I could contact and discuss my transmission issue with. |

I would assume that the transmission is a fairly modern design so most any shop that rebuilds transmissions should be able to do it.
Maybe call the local VW dealership and ask them who they use.

There's a place in New Jersey that supposedly uses heavy dirty clutch baskets? |

Just had our EV trans rebuilt at Meenan Transmission in Lansdown, PA.
It was plenty spendy.

| I just had my 2003 Eurovan transmission rebuilt by ADG transmission in Boardman Ohio (330) 758-5885. $4200 for the complete job, all new components with a 3 year 36,000 parts and labor warranty. I think it was $1000 cheaper to use rebuilt parts but the warranty was only 1 year. |

Hello folks,
FYI - I had a good experience with Meenan Transmission (215) 855-5123 in Landsdale PA.
They diagnosed transmission. It needed a rebuilt valve body (etc), which they did and got me out the door for less than $2K. It's a tough repair to stomach, but the juddering between gears is gone and I'm back on the road for long-haul trips.

Did you happen to have a harsh 1-2 shift with the faulty valve body? |

| @mans442, I don't recall exactly if it was 1-2, but the transmission did have some harsh shifts from time-to-time. |
