Hey Volks
        I have 3 questions tonight so I thought I would break them up so
only the interested would read.  My 85 auto makes a strange sound when
slowing down.  While gliding to a stop and for a short time after coming
to rest (while still in drive) the transmission makes a sound that is
a cross between the whine of gears meshing and the sound of a viscous
fluid being pushed thru a small whole.  Is this normal?  Should I break
my piggy bank and get ready for a new transmission?  I plan on changing
the fluid and cleaning the filter tomorrow just because the van is new
to me and I have no idea when it was last done.  Any ideas?  TIA


Later,
Stephen Davis
85 Westie
