(I searched the archives and didn't find much on this, which seems wrong, maybe badly-worded searches.) The automatic tranny on this 84 Vanagon seems to do a lot of whining and slipping going from first to second. Something needs to be tightened or something (all I know about automatic transmission noise like this I learned in 1966 from a Peter, Paul and Mary rendition of "car-car" where such sounds were described as being due to loose bands . . . whatever those are). Will the local transmission guy shake his head and quote a breathtaking amount of money? Apologies if this has been asked and answered a lot. -- Mike "Rocket J Squirrel" Elliott 71 VW Type 2 / 84 Westy: A poor but proud race. KG6RCR |
