<< Van folks,

One would think that after 16 years of working on and dealing in VW vans I had seen everything and knew what to look for when buying a used car, but some unscrupulous person still managed to pull the wool over my eyes when he sold me a '93 Eurovan Multivan weekender camper I just bought. The seller claimed it had a new water-pump, seals, timing belt etc., and initially it did drive good, but a week later, the automatic transmission quit shifting. It will go into reverse and it will go forward, but it seems like it's in second or third gear at start-off, and will not shift at all. It doesn't seem like it's slipping. I was hoping some-one out there would be able to shed some light on this, and give me some advice, or maybe some-one has a used auto trans out of a wrecked or salvage EV they want to sell me reasonably. I must confess, I've had only two or three EVs so far, so they're still new to me. Vanagons, I know backwards, but this beast, I know little of. I'm sorry to burden you folks like this, but I'm hoping somebody will point me in the right direction. I will be most obliged for any info or leads.

Thank you all.

Sincerely,

Vic Ahmed >>

Hi Vic , the first thing that needs to happen, is you need know what the faults are in the automatic computer (TCM, TRAN CONTROL MODULE).
