              but not goin' anywhere...

Hi all...well...once again my 84 westy vanagon is testing my patience.
yesterday after returning home from a road trip to sedona, jerome, and
prescott, arizona...second gear started spinning at about 20mph on a flat
road near my house.  a few weeks ago...reverse started to go bad...where as I
could still use it...but i couldn't hold in the clutch and roll back in
reverse because the whole van would stop as if i had hit something...when in
reality it was the gears locking up.


so...my question is...have any of you found that these tranny's are easy to
work on (i have some mechanical experience...and can pull my tranny on my
westy in less than a half hour)...or would it be easier just to buy another
working tranny from a junk yard or privately?  if any of you have had the
same problems...please mail me and tell me your solution.


also...if any of you have a four speed transmission for sale, please let me
know about it.  thanks in advance!
