Automatic gearbox overhaul
Hi everyone, I have started the long process of saving a T25 sat for 12 years in a barn , bodywork on a jig , engine and box out , looking for a specialist in Bedfordshire/Hertfordshire area to overhaul the engine and the gearbox for me while I scrape and scrub the body

it is a 1.9 DG engine 1983 and an automatic gearbox, both in good working order but in need of all seals, gaskets and orings replaced and a lock of paint to make them look presentable
can anyone here recommend someone nearby that can help ?? Thank you and have a great day everyone

I met this fellow at a classic car show in Margate recently. He claims the VW auto box is one of the easier transmissions to rebuild and has done quite a few.

I know it's an older thread but I'm about to dive into mine as it doesn't like R without a good rev or quick shift from 1 and 2
D is a bit hit or miss when going for 3rd gear, goes in and drops down again so thinking clutch packs and seals
Drives like a demon in 1 and 2 though
Will drop the valve body and pressure test the box
