Subject:      '85 westy 4th gear sticking and rivet removal
Comments: To: vanagon@vanagon.com
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

howdy all...with the big weekend coming up, i'm going to be
under/over/around my van for a good bit of it.  i have two questions
that i'm not sure how to handle.

1) my van is starting to get a little too comfortable with 4th gear.
meaning, once i shift into fourth, she doesn't want to come out and i've
got to do a little bit of the one-two to get it into neutral.  i don't
use much force, but i'm still thinking 'dang'.  this started on a
highway trip last week and now does it every time i'm over 40mph.  i had
planned on switching to synthetics this weekend, but don't want to do
that if there's another problem.  btw, clutch was replaced (by me!) two
or so months ago.

2) any ideas how i can get the rivets removed from the sink-tray arm?  i
need to replace the arm, have replacement rivets and gun, but can't
figure out how to get those out...

any help is very much appreciated.  thanks!
