How much would a rebuild be on a 97 vw golf transmission?

I'm looking into buying a 97 vw golf from a private seller on craigslist and he said that the tranny tends to slip sometimes but he didn't know if it was fluid or a rebuild...worse case scenario how much would it cost me to rebuild the tranny altogetherHow much would a rebuild be on a 97 vw golf transmission?i agree with the other guy on a few things. get a used one from the junk yard or find someone that is parting one out. and do get a better manual than a Haynes. that is what i have and it helps sometimes but most of the time it is way off and doesn't give you much help.How much would a rebuild be on a 97 vw golf transmission?You'd be better off replacing it with a used one from a junkyard. Find a wrecked MkIII Golf with low miles. I would assume the trans. is shot unless you can get a trusted mechanic's opinion.



For tech advice, see http://www.vwvortex.com



The 97 Golf is a MkIII which was produced from 1993-1999 and if you plan to replace the gearbox yourself do yourself a favor and get a proper Bentley manual (not a Haynes manual!)
