hi.  this is three days in a row that i have posted questions to you all...
and here's another:  after researching the archives i've come up with a
conclusion that scares me.  i've always worked on my own cars and vehicles,
but never anything that seems so involved as dropping a transmission...
now, the problem is that i have tght, loud shifting in all gears.  by loud i
mean that it sounds like the shifter is just rubbing metal on metal- in
other words, it doesn't seem to be internal- now, does anyone think that the
problem could be as simple as getting under the van and greasing the sh*t
out of everything connected to the shifter... OR am i gonna have to cry
myself to sleep tonight trying to muster up the cohones to drop the
transmission?  also, when i do drop it, what else should i change?  as i
don't think i will want to do that again for a while?

thanks,

jamie
