She just called in from Wall South Dakota and reports she &gt;&gt;can no &gt;&gt;longer get the van to shift into fourth gear. Transmission seems &gt;&gt;fine &gt;&gt;in all other gears. &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt;Shifter linkage? Broken shifter fork? &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt;Bottom line: anybody know ANY VW mechs in Wall or Rapid City South &gt;&gt;Dakota. While not life threatening, this stands to be a HUGE &gt;&gt;emotional &gt;&gt;problem for all concerned. &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt;Any idea or help would be greatly appreciated. &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt;Best, &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt;-jspeer &gt;&gt;'89 Westy GL "mystery machine" &gt; &gt;_________________________________________________________________ &gt;FREE pop-up blocking with the new MSN Toolbar – get it now! &gt;http://toolbar.msn.click-url.com/go/onm00200415ave/direct/01/ </div><br clear=all><hr> <a href="http://g.msn.com/8HMAENUS/2752??PS=47575">Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!
