For many years now anytime I needed a trans for a Thing restoration I’ve used GTA out of Bend, Oregon.
These are the two Thing transaxles I wanted rebuilt. Both had the AV trans code stamped on the bottom denoting the 4:12 ratio used in the VW Thing Type 181.
We dropped them off on Wednesday and they were ready for us the next day.
We have started a complete restoration on Sherry Mann’s Thing and she wanted to see if the transaxle could be painted to match. As you see……GTA was happy to accommodate her wish.
Doug & Sherry had driven over to Bend with us and were able to see GTAs facility first hand. These folks are pros and the quality of work is outstanding. They took the time to visit with us and answer all our questions.
German Transaxle is the premier supplier of VW transaxles and the quality of their work is amazing. I have had many Thing transaxles done by them and the results have been super. Remember ….they are a wholesaler so ask your local shop to consider GTA when your need is a VW Unit. They are located at
