George,
Sounds like the 3/4th slider problem. Not much you can do other than replace the transmission.

He is on his way from Whitehorse to Ontario and is currently in Whitewood Saskatchewan. He can only find 4th gear. Is this the notorious 3 to 4 slider problem or are there other possibilities? He is having the van towed to Regina. What should we check for before the repair shops open tomorrow? If it is the slider is the best bet to replace the transmission? > > George > '85 Westfalia _________________________________________________________________ With Windows Live for mobile, your contacts travel with you. http://www.windowslive.com/mobile/overview.html?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_mobile_072008 |
