Subject:1984 Westfalia Automatic Transmission

The problem is my automatic transmission.  I just pulled the Westfalia out
of the weeds after 5 years.  Got the van started pretty easily and towed it
down to Nethken and Associates in Fishersville, VA. The transmission worked
in reverse but not in the forward gears, so I picked up a used one from
Florida. He got that one in the van and it worked for about 20 mins and then
it burped and again wouldn't move forward.  He was pretty stumped about why,
but said it sounded like the converter, it started making all kinds of
noises.  I went through the archives and the ATF was full and was changed
when the  transmission was changed.  Anyone have any idea, or has it
happened to anyone?
