Subject:      91 Carat w/auto tranny - weird shifting
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed


My newly somewhat restored Carat behaves strangely - to me, anyway -
when shifting. Drove up a pretty good grade with it and all I could do
was 30 mph. If I put the pedal to the metal to get on up the hill - the
engine would kick down into 2nd gear and simultaneously over rev to 5000
rpm. My 88GL will pull that hill handily at 45mph in 4th.


I think this is about getting some tranny and engine adjustments so it
simply runs smooth when shifting gears. But how to sort it out is beyond
me for the moment. It's my first Vanagon with auto tranny and the
learning curve is pretty steep.


Any input would be appreciated.


John
