Ken, How much of a risk is this for warm-weather (I'm in Texas.) vans?
Best, Chris '87 Westy Tiico ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 8 Jan 2002 10:12:13 EST From: KENWILFY@AOL.COM Subject: Busted Shifter? Tis the Season! As the cold weather encroaches across our fair nation many Vanagons are making a popping sound. It is the sound of the brittle plastic parts inside your manual shifter lever assembly self-destructing (you didn't think they would last forever did you?). But do not fear, here is a list of parts to fix your problem (or if you have never rebuilt your shifter then it might be time for some PM): 1- 171 711 227A- $2.20 1- 171 711 279- $6.90 2- 823 711 255- $2.90 each ($5.80) 1- 251 711 645- $6.90 1- 823 711 643 A- $4.00 1- 823 711 199- $.73 I sell these parts as a kit for a mere $23.63. That is a small amount compared to the possibility of having your van become not driveable on a long trip, or the cost of towing. Just wanted to let the List know that this kit is available. Just call or email if you want one. Happy winter driving! Thanks, Ken Wilford John 3:16 www.vanagain.com Phone: (856)-765-1583 Fax: (856)-327-2242
