Clatter,
Glad to see you got the trans from Samba. That is the one I ask Jake about for my Ghia. Like I said earlier, he told me about the 'one off' bearings used for this trans and that is why I decided not to pursue this one.
Glad to see that your trans specialist said it was ok.
Take care and good luck,
Kelly (Cohibra45)
BTW, I am going with the Rancho Trans with the gear ratios and Quaife.
!!! Expensive, but not as much as when you mention the 'P' word!!!
