Do you mean as you slightly accelerate and decelerate?  That would be
excessive ring and pinion lash.  I have that too.

Subject: 90 Vanagon Auto Tranny

On a 90 Vanagon, the auto tranny runs smooth as silk on acceleration - no
matter how fast or how slow. Smooth as silk slowing down. But at steady
speed there is a little back and forth jerking, like there is wear in the
drive train somewhere - but I don't think that't it.
Everything external seems tight.

Anyone got any ideas??
