Shift linkage was probably adjusted wrong from the get go and now reverse gear is trashed. Have it rebuilt.

idk were to have it rebuilt jims vw wants to charge me like 500 more than i payed fot the thing are they easy to rebuild

If you dont have the tools and know how to set them up just have a known builder take care of it.. Jims vw is a waste.. I use Brian out of east canton.. Cant find his number due to constant phone problems but someone on here has it. Pm jeff clay I know he has it..

If it's just the smaller reverse gear, they're $40 for the weddle racing one.
I'd think a builder would replace the reverse for around $100 labor or I would anyway, but I'm in TN.

i think the bigger reverse gear is like 60 bucks,,,i think i give a little over a 100 bucks for both gears for a 5 rib,there jus about like a 6 rib

What your address of ya will do it for that that's about the price I can work with like 200 I would be willing to pay any more I would be looking 4 a new tranny that's the only thing holding me up from putting motor back in my buggy so I can finish my fab work what's weiddle gear is there an advantage to it?

Did you call Brian?

Even the weddle little reverse gear is still weak. you just cant make that little guy stronger. I generally charge $100 labor for transmission work. $150 if its still covered in mud when you bring it!

In what way is my shop a waste ??

Really??? You guys have no problem paying $40 for the small half of reverse, $80 for the big half, and $150 labor? You do know you have to tear the ENTIRE transaxle apart to replace the large half, right? So you're happy paying $270 to have some one put your tranny back together with the parts that were allready in it that were worn, which I guaruntee there are parts worn that should be replaced, but don't want to spend an extra $230 at a shop to have the tranny entirely rebuilt back to factory specs. they told you they could do for around $500? You guys are TOO funny!

That was $500 more than what he paid for the tranny to begin with.

Are you a sponsor?

Im guesing he is a younger guy and is not made of money and is trying to do it as cheap as possible.. Plently of trans with "used" gears have held up just fine for several yrs. Reverse gets broken for usually two reasons, Not properly engaged or beating on it. New gears will destroy in the same fashion as old in these to cases!

not a 100% but i think chuck jones does a tranny for about 150 labor, 500 labor seems a bit on the high side to me but thats just my opinion

$500 is total ,"not labor." (new both halfs of rev.Weddle's, all new synchro for 091 all new seals 091 & gaskets hot tank & cleaned, r/p checked for crackes)

that sounds a lot more reasonable, i guess i was confused with all the the talk about 500 more than he gave for the tranny

i ment that they wanted to charge me 500for parts an labor not that it was my cost of tranny plus there cost and yes i dont have a lot of money to through around and needing to find someone to do it in my price range if i cant i will probaly sell it for 300 350 bucks with high torque starter if any one is intrested ?
