I agree with both Neil and Scott. It's a missed detail. Just a littel
background on the mechanic doing the install. He converted my Doka to
autotrans about 2 years ago. He forgot to attach a ground wire which caused
the engine to die when the trans was shifted to "DRIVE". During that
incident, he refused to tell me what he did to finally fix the problem. He
just said he figured it all out. I suspect it is more of the same.

Neil, this is attached to a "dumb" Vanagon auto tranny.
