I have about 115,000 miles on my 87 Westy.  Obviously it has the defective 3/4 hub/slider in the transmission that is prone to failure.  Rather than wait until it goes bad and more than likely leaves me stranded, I was looking at replacing it this coming winter when not using the van.  Who does a good job of rebuilding these transmissions with the updated components?
