Hi,

I am experiencing some very disturbing tranny probs in
the 87 syncro.  Over the past couple months there have
been a few sporadic instances of it being hard to
shift into first or reverse, but a double pump on the
clutch always seems to work (strange - when its
raining, the shifting is always smooth as silk -
almost to easy).

Two days ago things got really bad without any real
warning or escalation from the above mentioned
symptoms.  I cant even shift into low, reverse is very
hard, and first is difficult.  Once in reverse, she
starts clanking and I have to keep the clutch way down
or it pops out.  First starts bucking like mad if im
not going fast enough, and will pop out of gear as
well.  Also low power of the go, especially on a hill,
have to keep clutch way depressed (like me).

This frustates the hell out of me because when I
bought the van about five years ago, it had a brand
new (rebuilt) tranny installed from German Transaxel.
in 98, the tranny failed AGAIN and was still under
warrenty so I had it replaced, along with a new
clutch.  Ive only driven 32k miles on this sick
tranny....

Any advice?

Thanks,

Jeff
