You
either have a bad direct clutch piston or the clutches are just worn out.
Rebuild time. Don't continue to drive it. Major damage will result. If you are
inclined you can rebuild this yourself. Go to http://www.bulkparts.com and work your way
to the VW trans parts. The 010 series will get you the parts you need except for
the final drive seal and the seal between the auto and final drive section. Get
the center seals from VW. They have are designed to maintain some space
between the two seal so that any seepage from either section can drain out the
hole in the case instead of mixing together.
Good
luck,

I have a 1983 Vanagon with an auto tranny
that is giving me some
grief. Hoping for some words of wisdom from
the knowlegable List members.
Tranny
was working just fine and recently a day or so ago began to
slip in drive,
high gear only. Check of fluid was good. Drained and
refilled
fluid and still problem exists. All other gears are functioning
normally. Starting out it is fine, when highway speed is reached and
tranny
shifts into third or high gear it begins to slip badly. Is
there a fix in
the pan and valve area or am I looking at having to remove
the tranny and
find a rebuilder ?
