Dave Browns  '87 van was on the hoist at Precision Motors this morning.  The
external shift rod seems to work fine but the transmission remains in 4 th
gear.  The only way to move the van is to use the clutch and push.
Things are a little more complicated.  The van is a Syncro with a Subaru
motor.
Anybody got a known good Syncro transmission available?
