Subject:Sluggish gear changes
From:Zach Daudert

Recently I've noticed a sluggishness (slowness) while starting to drive my
85 Westy off in first gear and sometimes into second gear.  It's like it
doesn't really want to move until a certain RPM.  The problem seems to get
better the more I drive, and I don't notice it in third/fourth gear?   I
don't hear any strange noises and the engine seems to drive great most of
the time.  Any ideas?
