AA Transaxle was founded in 1982 to fill a Seattle area need for high quality rebuilt VW, Porsche and Audi transaxles.
Many local shops had no expertise in the rebuilding of German transaxles, and we have successfully been the rebuilder for these shops ever since.
Our main focus is the VW line because they are much more common in this area of the country.

  Transaxle
The transmission oil is replaced by removing the lower of the two plugs on the side of the transaxle, draining the oil, and refilling through the top plug hole until the gear lube just starts to come out of or is level with the top hole.
The plugs are on the left hand side of the transaxle, and are a 17mm Allen key.
Getting the new fluid into the transaxle can also be very difficult due to the lack of space in which to work.
