Folks,

Well, my buddy's wife managed to get the van from Wall to Rapid City
and they found the repair shop recommended by Larry Chase.

Looks like the 4th gear synchro has failed... guy already has the
tranny out and might get it back together by end of day Friday.

Bummer when something like this happens when you're traveling with kids.

Thanks to all who replied.
