Just pulled the 1.9L engine and automatic transmission out of an 84 GL vanagon I just purchased. The engine and tranny were locked up when I purchased it.

The previous owner had the bellhousing on the transaxle welded where it had previously cracked and it of course cracked again wrinkling and wedging the flex plate between the engine and torque converter.

So I am on the hunt for a new or rebuilt automatic transmission but am having trouble finding them. I have found GoWesty's rebuilt automatic as well as germantransaxle.com but would like to find something a little closer to the midwest.

Any advice on where to get an automatic transmission or who to stay away from?

Thanks for the help!

Contact these guys. They have sold me some transmission parts:

Also, eBay:

The GoWesty rebuilt transmissions are a good deal as well.

If you are inclined, find one in a junkyard and rebuild it yourself using my rebuild thread:

Tell us what you decide to do... everyone is interested.
