I expected as much. I usually do most of the work on my Vanagon but I'm going to have to have this done. What's the typical price tag. At the moment I only have the shudder starting from a stop in first. When shifting at speed into 2nd, 3rd, or 4th there is none and I can't say I've noticed it in reverse. Does this mean I've got some time or is that wishful thinking?
