Subject:'87 vanagon auto trans problem
From:aerie

The auto trans. on our '87 vanagon GL pass. van has given out. It
previously exhibited some signs of it's impending doom, but only
briefly. What has happened is that it just stopped engaging in either
fwd. or rev.:-(. When doing this before, it reverted to normal operation
after a short cool down period. When this started about 10K miles ago, I
changed fluid (which did not look burned or contaminated). I am not
experiencing any leaks at this time. Also, when it was working, it
seemed to work just fine, no slipping or hard shifting etc.. Do I start
yanking this thing or are there some things to check or try before doing
so? Any help or references to archives that I am not aware of would be
greatly appreciated.
