Subject:      90 Vanagon 4spd won't shift
Comments: To: Vanagon@vanagon.com

My van has been shifting smoothly, no abnormal noises. I tried to downshift from 3rd to 2nd and it wouldn't go in to gear. With some force, I got it back into 3rd and made it to my driveway(1/2 mile). After about 5 minutes I was able to get into 1st to park, moved about 10 feet and grinding sound started. I immediately shut it down. Now, The stick points toward 3rd gear in neutral. The stick can be moved over between 1st and 2nd, but only appears willing to go into reverse. I was able to push the van into the garage, but it moved like it was in gear. Any idea what to look for?
