Peter: This EXACT symptom occurred to my 86 Transporter about a year ago. After I tore down the trans axle and pressed off the gears from the main shaft did I find the Synchronizer hub for 3rd/4th had broken.MAJOR pain in the gazotska.Requires a special tool to get into the gear box,luckily I was in good with the service manager who let me borrow it. (onecaseofbeerfortheshopreward). email me for more details. __________________ /---------/| || || / / | || || /--------------------|+========+| |[|]____[|]| _.| |==========| | | _ | _ | | ====== | / \| / \ | [__________]|_|)||_________|)|__[] \_\_/ \_\_/ \_\_/ \_\_/ 86Doublecab pickup Ken Lewis kdlewis@juno.com 85GL 60 356(almost finished) 61 AH Sprite (for sale)
