1988 Westfalia with 95,000 miles, AT fluid changed 25,000 miles ago. AT fluid is at the proper level. No AT fluid in the coolant. The problem that has cropped up is the transmission sometimes does not want to shift into 3rd gear and will wind out until I let off the gas for a bit then it will slip into 3rd. The reverse gear will sometimes not engage right away then will go into reverse with a big clunk. These problems don't always occur but will happen even with a hot and cold engine. Anyone else have this problem? Thoughts? A solution perhaps? I have easy access to transmission shops (AAMCO, Cottman, even a shop that does german transaxles) but I wanted to at least have some ideas before I discuss options with a shop or try to tackle it myself. Thanks for any feedback. Mark
