Dear List, I am in France, about to sit down to dinner with a colleague who is having trouble with her Westy back in Albuquerque. I told her if anyone could help her out it is you! Here's the problem: When she first starts out each morning her automatic transmission refuses to shift into second until she has driven at 10 MPH for five minutes or more. Then, finally, it thunks into second and functions normally until the next morning. She has replaced transmission fluid and had lines bled. Any thoughts? Also, who's the best VW mechanic in Albuquerque? Please respond to my p-mail as I have suspended service from the list while I am on this trip. Many thanks. Woody |
