Subject:      90 Vanagon trans 3rd gear grinding
Comments: To: vanagon@vanagon.com

My 1990 Multivan Vanagon grinds when shifting into 3rd gear.
It will grind when it is warmed up and has been driven on the
highway for a bit.  It does not happen every time.  The problem
turned up this summer when I drove it up from sea level to
abotu 5-7000 feet, but it persists still at sea level (if this has
anything to do with it starting off suddenly).  I have about 88lk
on the Vanagon and it has been well taken care of.


One suggestion I had and tried was to bleed the clutch
to expel the air in the line.  I tried this but it still grinds.


Anyone else having a problem of this sort?  Or better
yet suggestions on the cause?


Thanks in advance for whatever help you might supply!
