Subject:      Do I need a new tranny?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

Hey all,
     My '90 V'gon (w/auto tranny) has been having a problem lately. After it
has been sitting for a while (esp. overnight) when I put it in Drive or
reverse, take the parking brake off, and put my foot on the gas, the revs go
up, but thevan hardly moves. If it was a stick, I'd say it was a slipping
clutch, but I don't know much about the inner workings of auto trannies. The
tranny fluid was drained and replaced about 4k miles ago. I will be grateful
for any insights.
