I am a VW Caravelle VR6 fanatic and love this car. Need help with the Auto Gearbox

Post by Tim-VR6 »

Hi My name is Tim.

My wife has a 1996 VW Caravelle VR6 Automatic. Both her and I love this car. It has served us really well and we want to keep it.

It was one of the first Caravelle's in South Africa and was a direct import from Germany.

I have had a problem with the gearbox and had it redone. This lasted for about 4 years and its starting with not going into reverse unless you rev the motor a bit but this makes for a bumpy change into reverse and I am sure that it not good for the gear box. Where can I get a new auto gearbox besides the agents or who in South Africa really knows how to recondition them properly. I would really appreciate help with this as my wife loves the car and does not want a new one but her old car fixed. Its still in excellent condition except for the Automatic gearbox. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
