Well the inevitable happened last night, I woke up this morning and there was a puddle of gear lube under the car. The C still drives but whines real bad and clicks and clunks on and on. Something different broke in the trans, something I have yet to experience.
Any way waht i'm trying to say is hows Kraftswerk? I've alway thought of them as pretty good, but now that I think of it I haven't heard any stories of them, good or bad.
I figured I want a 6 speed, Peloqin, and 3.94 final drive. If any one wants to sell me an similarly built trans, gimme a holla.

No way Biggs, you're going for the gusto??
Also, keep an eye out for me for an 85-92 4-door Golf for less than $500, doesn't have to run, just want a decent body. My dad sold my Camaro, the guy is picking it up on Sunday.

Mr. Biggs....who left you died and left you as Ronald Isley??

Awww, I just missed one like 2 wks ago. A trade in at Gambacorta, 91 dark grey, no 5th gear. I passed on it cause I didn't need another dub that needs work.

Re: Kraftswerks Transmissions (CorradoKidd)

you might want to call up adirondack, wwwgermanautoparts.com as they usually have a good price on trannys
Search around the forums and you might find a good deal on a quaife. is the 20% still on at auto tech?
just to be a wise ass this didn't happen in as cool a way that the axle did, did it? If so I want to see the video

Dude, this is whatcha gotta do...
Remove the speedo sensor and stick a 1" hose into the hole. Tap the other end of the hose onto a bucket filled with some cheap ass tranny fluid. Viola! You can now drive your car as it leaks!

If you need help tossing on that tranny, give a brutha a holler.

Re: Kraftswerks Transmissions (need_a_VR6)

I like paul's idea

Frank, believe it or not, I've been driving the car kind of easy the past few weeks, so I don't know what happened, but I knew something wasn't right during my drive home last night.

Also how do I get ahold of Kraftswerk? Their websit doesn't have their #. I would call Adirondack (excelent souce for factory parts IMO) but I want a worked tranny.

Re: Kraftswerks Transmissions (CorradoKidd)

Go to Borders and look through EC, they used to advertize in there.

Re: Kraftswerks Transmissions (onequickg60)

Oooohh! Ooohh! Me, me! I'm in! But I need one before then, unless we can get a really, reallyyyyyyyy, awesome price, then I might be forced to drive my 89 16V GTI around for the winter.

Re: Kraftswerks Transmissions (CorradoKidd)

Is that car still there?? Also, do you still go to the auctions??
This project needs to start out as budget as poss.

Here's the number for Kraftwerks - (909) 926-9636
I've had one of their 5-speeds in my C for about a year with no complaints at all. Give them a call.
