Subject:Shifting problems
From:Wade Shen

Hi all,

I've got an '85 westy that doesn't seem to want to shift into any gear at
idle.  I suspect that the clutch is no longer disengaging.  I can still
shift at speed and when the engine isn't running, but otherwise... no go.
The problem started happenning last week, out of the blue, and has gotten
progressively worse. First it was hard, now it's unshiftable.

I checked the fluid underneath the instrument cluster, it was low (below the
hose attachment), but not empty.  I filled it up with about 1/2 bottle of
dot 4, but that didn't seem to help either.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

wade
