1984 Vanagon won't go into second gear...

Jun 28, 2004 2 Replies

Actually it was difficult to get into first gear, but now it won't go into second gear. It just grinds...R, 1st 3rd and 4th all work fine, but no luck with second...



If I am very careful, I mean VERY CAREFUL it can slip it into second, but it is at the risk of heavy grinding- grinding I don't want to risk...



Otherwise all is well...

sounds like the clutch dragging-try backing it off some.

Clutch problem, but if you been grindiing awhile then you may have created transmission issues too.
