Where is this parts van located? = )

Me thinks, Jim is up shift creek w/o a good 3rd & 4th slider. Break out the
plastic. Or gold bullion as the case may be.

I have a friend who rebuilds Vanagon trannies in his spare time. Has a box
full of broken sliders taken out of those shiftless bastards.

inside

ps:
Watch out for a gold 87 GL or a white double cab with the stickers "BenT
inside" on the back window. Looks the "Intel inside" graphic.
