Hey Everyone, I have a couple problems that have came over my '87 Westy in the last two weeks. First a couple of weeks ago, while driving home from work, my van started surging and hesitating. The RPM's would bounce all over the place in all gears and cont'd to do this until I got home. Since then, I haven't had the hesitation and surging happen again... Until last night that is, it started to do the same thing surging and hesitating periodically throughout the drive home. I drove the van again this morning and it acted fine. Now for the second problem I am having. About a week ago, my van started to be hard to put into first gear, all of the rest of the gears were easy to get into, but first could be a real pain. It seemed to get worse the longer I drove her because when I first started driving her everyday, first gear wouldn't be a problem to get into. One time i noticed that there seemed to be some play moving the gear shift back and forth sideways. I only noticed that sideways movement that once and can't reproduce it. Could I get some advice as to what to check first? Thanks alot for any advice I get. Please p-mail me if you could, as I am on digest mode. Take care, Jen Karma Rose '87 Westy Chicago, IL _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp |
