Subject:      Symptoms - Manual Tranny
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed


The tranny in my 88 GL is beginning to behave funny. Hard to get into
first at times - like I can't find the slot to shove the stick forward.
Also, I now have to be very careful of the thing dropping over through
the slot for reverse - like the stick goes way to the left - even if you
just breath on it. I'm afraid of getting it into reverse instead of
first or second when it's still rolling forward. Spooky. That would
really tear up something.


Any ideas as to what is beginning to happen?


Also - getting a lot of oil on the front and rear of the engine. Seals?
I guess the fix requires pulling the engine - yes?


Thanks,


John Rodgers
88 GL driver
