Auto-Stick Parts Dealer in Australia?

[bErT_12]

Good day...

I just wanna ask, are there any shops in Australia that sells autostick parts (e.g. Torque Converter Seal)?... Where in Australia?... What's the contact number?... TIA...

Bert,
     Depends what you are after. Some parts I'd rather buy from US! This country has somewhat punishing prices and somewhat limited availability.

Failing that, here are probably the best two :

www.stokerssiding.com.au - 61 2 6677 9246

www.volksbahn.com.au - 61 2 9688 2933

These guys should be able to supply semi-auto parts "up to a point".

For Clutch kits (plate and cover) try www.exedy.com.au . They still list a complete kit for a volkswagen (forget about the throwout bearing)

Second hand parts are better had in the US, although stonking bargains can be had on www.ebay.com.au if your eyes are sharp and open. You will have to scrounge even harder than us in AUS to get parts.

Hi
I didn't realise you were in Australia....
there is a fellow selling the complete assembly, as He's switching to a manual transmission..
only things not there are the rear axles...

He's on AVD in Australia..
Also depends where You are and where He is located....

Not sure if anyone still has the torque shaft seals in Australia or
the most important twin ATF/engine oil pump seals..
evw in the USA has those..

Not many things actually go wrong or wear out...
best of luck

Lee,
     He's in the Phillipines, not Oz. Oz is closer to him than the US....but I reckon the US/Canada is better to buy parts from.

Hiya Sean,

........ I reckon the US/Canada is better to buy parts from....

From my very brief exposure to prices and availability in Oz, I'd agree with that.  But if shipping to The Philippines (from the the USA) is anything like shipping to Australia I'm thinking that would be a potential deal killer.

Mike,
      Like anything, weight & the exchange rate will dominate whether to go OS or buy local. At the moment
I still try and keep things less than 3 Lbs. The USPS website is pretty good if you have a "Guesstiweight", even better if you know exactly.

Long gone are the days when SeaMail was an option between the US and Oz .

You are much better to buy from the USA than Australia..
the prices are better , More parts available from the USA..

Freight can be expensive if the part is heavy...

evw - aircooled.net - CIP1 - are some of the shops in the USA..

cheers
