It's just a big ol' stack of gears in there. Not much you can do by opening it up, except open a can of worms. Certainly no way to "save good money" doing so. If it doesn't work, you need to send it to a competent professional rebuilder. If it's had a rebuild and/or it still works, just change the gear oil regularly. They're meant to last for years. You know those stickers you see on stuff that say "no user serviceable parts inside"? The vanagon MT might as well have one of those.
