<P>I have a problem with my vanagon automatic<BR>transmission.&nbsp;&nbsp;when i start the van and<BR>put it in reverse, I have to really rev ang 1st it to get<BR>the van to move. The trans creates a braking<BR>effecting like I had applied the emergency brake.<BR>What kind of problem ?<BR>thanks, Hee<BR></P>
<P>Did you check the filter? It might be clogged. Look for metal particles on the pan and filter. I've washed the valve body with brake cleaner after a bad torque converter cleaning job, the tranny started whistling and loosing grip, all was clogged.</P>
