the reason why people replace the tranny is the cost. a used working tranny is 1500-2000 to repair mine in california cost 1200. and a week. The downside to a used tranny is the syncros could go out in a week. then you double the labor and are out 1500. get it fixed and get it done by someone who has worked on the audi or vw golf transmisions. i am done going to the "universal"shops. they know a little about everything but not enough about anything, and when your car braks due to shoddy labor its your fault. I went to a small shop in San Jose to replace my axles. i drove the car 2 times a day for 3 miles to and from work. after 1 month my front wheel came loose (didnt fall off the car) and destroyed my front brake assembly. Guess what it wasnt their fault the mechanic didnt tighten the wheel down. The wheel should have fallen off the first day. i drove the car 200 miles.
