My wife and I just purchased and 87 Vanagon GL with
165K on it to replace our 85 Vanagon Weekender. Since
the new one actually has a tach, we can now see what
the engine is doing when shifting. Our question is:
the PO has the clutch replaced last year and the
transaxle rebuilt ('bad gear' he said). When
downshifting into second gear, the gear will crunch
(sometimes a little, sometimes alot) unless speed is
about 15 MPH and 1500 RPM's. We've been trying to find
the right 'sweet spot' for shifting but sometimes it
works, sometimes it doesn't. Double clutching doesn't
seem to help either. Also, any upshift from first to
second is sometimes dicey. Any ideas from the list
would be appreciated.
