Several years ago I removed the transmission from my '85 and replaced
the main seal and clutch (along with a few other things).  This was done
in my driveway and with a couple of ordinary floor jacks.


Would I do it again ... or take it to a mechanic?  I would certainly do
it again.  None of my Vanagons has ever been to a mechanic and I've been
driving one of them since '91.  The '85 Westy I got in 2002.
