U own a 84 Vanagon GL with a mix of old school in it.  I installed a 1967
camper interior (the passenger side cabinet, fold down bench seat , and fold
down table) that i scored out of a junk yard bus.  Lots of cleaning and new
vinyl paint makes it the coooolest over any formica euro trash interior.  My
question is this.  The star lever protruding from the four speed tranny has
worn down, making the attachment to the  mating starred ball joint sloppy.
The rest is all attached to the shift rods and then the lever.  I want to
fix it to make the shifting TIGHT!! My optionis could be 1) replcing the
entire tranny with a junkyard tranny (cond. unknown but for $300),
2)purchasing the part from the dealer ($235) and having someone install it
(mo' $), or 3) geting a five speed to fit in the van.  Can this last option
be done without modifications?  IF mods. are needed, what might I have to
do? And lastly, where could I get a five speed tranny?
