hey all, just limped home my '81 westy.... thanks to all for guidance and advice. the tranny needs to be rebuilt and i am looking for a good reliable rebuild in the san francisco bay area, if anyone knows of a place. also, the front end is squeaking like a rusty mattress. what would be the cause? the front end seems fine other than the constant squeaking.\ other than that, she's beautiful. i also wanted to ask what is the best manual to have for work on my new westy. --does the muir manual apply to the '81 since the engines were the same as the '79? thanks to all for continued support, peace, jeff '81 westy
