Subject:2 questions on 85 westy
From:car emmea
Date:Tue, 26 Feb 2002 17:15:47 -0800

Hello all!  Ive just bought a 1985 westfalia GL
about a month ago.  I have been driving it with no
problems, but I have two questions??

1.  I took it in to get snow tires, and when I got it
back, you no longer have to push down to get it into
reverse?  It shifts into reverse, just like first or
third. Is my trans going out, or can something be
adjusted fairly cheap?

2.  It only has 106,000 on the original engine.  I
plan on taking it in to get the heads checked
(compression checked???), or may I say a look over.
What exactly should I have checked out by a mechanic
that I cannot do myself, yet?

  Thank you for your help.  I am not a master mechanic
but slowly learning.  Sorry if I've missed this
subject in the archives.

Paul
