Yeah...I don't like giving bad news. But don't trust my word on it I'm just a
kid. I just know what my dad said, and what the "How to Keep your VW Alive"
book says in the "How to Buy a VW" section. He says to steer clear of a VW
whose gear pops out, as it usually means a tranny overhaul. Also, I've heard it
can be a "linkage" problem. My bus pops out of third very rarely...but it
happens. Trannys are so complexed though...wish I could help.

I'm guessing tranny. I'm also guessing that this could be an expensive problem
:( sorry man. When I bought my bus my dad told me to make DOUBLE sure that it
never popped out of any gears when driving or we'd be in "big trouble".

So I'm driving the 72 today and it pops out of 4th gear, that's never happened
before. So i stopped by the shop and discovered that i was very low on tranny
fluid, we refilled it and on my way home i had to hold the shifter in 4th so it
wouldn't pop out, i could still feel it trying to pop out and sounded like it
was scrapping the gears. I pulled off the highway and drove the back roads in
3rd to get home.
What's the deal?
Is my transmission going out? Clutch?
thanks,
jeff
