Hello Listmembers,

My 1982 diesel Westfalia will no longer shift into reverse.  First and
second gear are now in the left "indent" area where revese used to be.  A
crawl beneath the beast reveals that a bushing at the transmission end of
the linkage appears very sloppy and badly worn and the rubber seal is
completely gone.  Will the transmission rebuild kit offered by the vendors
on the mailing list return me to tight and precise teutonic shifting
nirvana (not that this thing ever shifted nicely)?  How much work is
involved in installing these rebuild kits?  Will I need to drop the fuel
tank?

thanks in advance for any help,
-bret
