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 ?

Cheers�
