I had a strange thing happen today.  Customer has a '86 Manual Vanagon GL.
Transmission was grinding on 3rd and 4th and I told him that the tranny was
on the way out.  He insists on my changing the tranny gear oil (figures this
might help it last longer).  I change the tranny oil and now it not only
still grinds in 3rd and 4th, but it doesn't want to go into first and I have
to pull it out of first when I come to a stop or it will either stall the
engine or try to pull the van forward (like the clutch isn't working all the
way).  Any ideas as to what is going on?

Thanks,
Ken Wilford
