did you try going elsewhere?
Did they try to get you to have them do the work?
What made them think or say it needs doing?
Maybe they dont understand VW's?!

There are no kits available for the 68-72 bus boxes. I'm in the need of one too. They cost quite a bit for a rebuilt piece, I did see one on ebay, rebuilt for 200.00 usd. Trying to find a decent used one seems slim to none.

Hmmm, do you have a bad used one laying around? If so maybe I could take it to work and have one of the mechanics look at it.

Sure I do James, its in my van and needs some much needed tlc. I think you would just have to make a new worm gear and bushing to make it tight again
