If its like most other auto trannys this means a total rebuild because you
have to unload everything else to get to 3rd gear.

My daughter bought an 83 Vanagon with an automatic transmission, I was told
it won't go into third gear. A "band problem" is all I know.
I'll start dealing with it in the morning.


I have not even looked at the Bentley yet but I did do a search of the
archives.


Any suggestions at this point? FWIW there is a guy on craigslist here who
sells rebuilt trannys for $1k.
Thanks,






Rob
