The 3 speed automatic (010) came in a variety of vehicles from VW Rabbits, Audi 5000, and the VW Bus & Vanagon. We build more of these transaxles than anyone else in the world. The versatility of these little trannys has found them in drag cars, off road racing, and of course your daily drivers. Our rebuilds all start with full disassembly, cleaning and inspection. Due to the amount of parts that we have amassed over the 45 years of building these we have the hard to find components that allow us to rebuild your transaxle even if it does have hard part damage. The autos receive new seals & gaskets, 1 way sprags, frictions and rebuilt valve bodies. These 010 automatics are mated to the 090 vanagon differential. The differential gets new seals, gaskets, OE roller bearings and a rebuilt torque convertor. Both units are assembled and set up using VW tooling. The next step…

We fill the auto with a full synthetic BG ATF and the differential with BG Ultra Guard gear oil (GL5). It then goes to our in house dyno. The transaxle is then put thru its paces to ensure the highest quality unit is sent to you ready for install.
For those that are building their Vanagon above and beyond, German Transaxle does have upgrade components available. The standard ring and pinion for 090 finals is 4.09. We offer 3.27, 3.72, and 4.45 options depending on your build requirements. We also have a heavy duty upgrade which  includes the RV stall torque converter, 4 gear planetary and an extra clutch in the forward clutches.

All units installed with stock motors or stock HP rated motors come with our nation wide 12 month/12,000 mile warranty. (see warranty download for details)
