Subject:      Auto tranny slipping
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed


(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.
