Subject:      Auto tranny needed for 1984 watercooled Vanagon
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii


Hi all,


I'm bummin. My trans has been slipping in the forward gears for a few
weeks now, (reverse seems ok) so I ordered a screen and gasket kit from
Ron at the Bus Depot a few days ago. I received it yesterday, and
realizing the urgency of not putting off this job, I just installed it
with fresh ATF fluid. No improvement at all. I also found several small
needles from a needle bearing in the bottom of the pan, and the old
fluid smelled real burnt. Anyway, it appears I need another tranny,
cause after calling around to price rebuilding it, I quickly decided
that a used tranny seems like the way to go. I live in Mass. and am
looking for an inexpensive, low mileage auto tranny to fit this Vanagon
(1984) in the New England area. If anyone has one or knows where I can
find one, please respond.


Thanks in advance.
