Subject:      Re: My van has about 220k miles,
              what are the chances that the manual tranny has never been
              rebuilt?

My '85 Westy has 206,000 miles on it and there's no evidence the tranny
was ever rebuilt.  When I got it the shifter would move fore and aft
just a tad ... but only in 4th gear ... when letting off the throttle or
again depressing the throttle.  Anyway, I've put over 40,000 miles on it
that way and it's no different than when I got it.  I treat it gently
but I feel I'm on borrowed time.  It still doesn't stop me from heading
out on long trips, though.
