Manual Transmission
Transmissions are hidden under the Vanagon and out of sight...out of mind, thus they run low on fluid and burn out. Check for leaks when checking your fluid levels.
Early Vanagons have some trouble with manual transmissions. We recommend you change your gear oil now. I know you haven’t done it in 5 years, and do it again every 2 years or 30,000 miles. Also don’t speed shift, you can’t get there that fast in a Vanagon anyway. We have good used Vanagon transmissions and factory remanufactured units with up to a 2-year limited warranty.
