Well...the answer is: yes and no
I normally run with quite a bit of stuff in my vans.  In fact, friends often
tease that if they need something, they can ask me as I usually have it in the
van. Concerning this specific van, I recently (~3000 miles ) purchased it and
from the looks of the interior I believe it had little use.  The prime mechanic
and complete service records indicate that a Dr.'s wife owned it and they were
never into the tranny.  Lot of clutches but no tranny work. For those that are
concerned, this van will NOT be in jepoardy even if it completely shucks the
existing box.
