About German Transaxle

For over 50 years, German Transaxle of America has been the definitive authority on Volkswagen, Audi, and Porsche drivetrains. Originally founded in 1971 as "Volkstrans" in Northern California before moving to Bend in 1981, this facility is not a general repair shop—it is a specialized re-manufacturing center dedicated strictly to the art and science of the transaxle. Their reputation extends far beyond Central Oregon, serving a wholesale and enthusiast client base across the United States and internationally. German Transaxle of America combines old-world expertise with modern precision, utilizing an Axiline Dynamometer to road-test units in a simulated environment before they ever leave the bench. Whether you are looking for a stock rebuild for a daily driver, a ruggedized transmission for a Vanagon Syncro, or custom gearing for a track-day Porsche, their team delivers robust, dyno-tested solutions backed by a nationwide warranty. For owners who demand specialist knowledge rather than generalist guesswork, this is the premier destination for German drivetrain performance.
