Subject:      Manual Transmission, what to do?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII

I posted some of this before but I need to decide what I'm doing and do it.

I have a 7 year old Mofocco rebuild manual transmission in a 1984 Vangon. It just started popping out of 4th gear. Can go about a mile and it wants to pop out if I accelerate a little or vary speed.

So should I take it to a tranmission shop locally? (They probably don't know about the 3/4 slider gear problem and would put factory parts in?)

Or should I order a remanufactured one from who?

I know Bus Depot carries them. FastGerman has them? Just Vee Dubs etc.

Who is the best? I have a new Boston 2.1 in this Van so the cost isn't the biggest issue. I'd like the strongest rebuild possible.

Thanks. John.
