Van folks,

One would think that after 16 years of working on and dealing in VW vans I had
seen everything and knew what to look for when buying a used car, but some
unscrupulous person still managed to pull the wool over my eyes when he sold
me a '93 Eurovan Multivan weekender camper I just bought. The seller claimed
it had a new water-pump, seals, timing belt etc., and initially it did drive
good, but a week later, the automatic transmission quit shifting. It will go
into reverse and it will go forward, but it seems like it's in second or third
gear at start-off, and will not shift at all. It doesn't seem like it's
slipping. I was hoping some-one out there would be able to shed some light on
this, and give me some advice, or maybe some-one has a used auto trans out of
a wrecked or salvage EV they want to sell me reasonably. I must confess, I've
had only two or three EVs so far, so they're still new to me. Vanagons, I know
backwards, but this beast, I know little of. I'm sorry to burden you folks
like this, but I'm hoping somebody will point me in the right direction. I
will be most obliged for any info or leads.

Thank you all.

Sincerely,

Vic Ahmed
