Hi all.

I have a 1983.5 Westy with a 4 speed manual tranny, Not to long a ago, the
shift lever got to feeling a bit loose, and I have trouble getting it to go
from 2nd to 3rd gear, it will go, but I have to stir it a bit to get it to go.

At first I suspected the gear shift was out of alignment but a quick look
under the van did not give me any clues, all the plastic parts seem to be
intact.

I have been leaning toward thinking that the tranny is just worn out, and
it's time to look for a new one or have it rebuilt. But I wanted to get a
few opinions before I jump the gun and replace it.

Thanks in advance!!
