I am curoius to know if bucking is a common problem in 84 vanagons? I don't seem to have any major engine problems but I occasionally experience a bucking sensation. Mostly, I feel it in traffic when in a lower gear. I upshift and still I sometimes get it. I didn't think much of it until I read in one of the postings on (why so many 84 and 85 westys for sale) that someone hasn't had any engine trouble or that bucking with his van. I would love to think that I have nothing to worry about. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Dave 84 Westy |
