Hey Listers,

I just bought a '85 Vanagon 1.9L with 4 speed tranny (and giant factory
sunroof :) Here's the catch.  The van goes into reverse, third and fourth
gears and works fine. The shifter moves into first and second, but
letting the clutch out it is as if the van is still in neutral.  All the
linkage between the shifter and tranny appears in tact, and the clutch is
practically brand new.  The problem is likely internal.  Has anyone
experienced such a syndrome?  Better yet, any idea as to what in the
transmission may have broken?  Any and all ideas welcome and appreciated.
Thanks,

-Ross
