Hi all..
apologies if I'm wasting band width here this is a re post tbecause I had a
message rejected reply from the listserv.

here is the text that may or may not have got through.....

here's the situation:
new tranny. good shape. full confidence in it.
drive for an hour or two, freeway/town, come back into home. Go to shift
down to second to turn a corner and.....can't find it. Try a couple of
times. Shift to third, back to second and there it is. phew.

It's an 82 diesel with a gas I4 in it.
I'm thinking the shift linkages are worn/tired/out of whack.

Has anyone replaced these linkages? They are the same as the aircooled
linkages, yes?
Has anyone adjusted these linkages?
Am I the only person out there in early vanagon land that has had this
problem?

any/all comments observations welcome..... because right now I don't trust
the van to consistently drive 20 miles.
