Vanagon Repair?

« on: July 06, 2007, 04:57:52 PM »
I have a 1981 air-cooled Vanagon that has not been driven in several years and the gears are totally locked up (won't go into any gear at all).  The clutch was about shot back when it was being driven.  Any advice about where I can take it to be repaired?

Don't know where you are located.  But, since the good Jim Lockhart retired and closed his shop, the only one around that I know of is Harry Guinn in the Battlefield.  His phone number is 706-866-5322.  Hope this helps.

When you say the gears are locked up , do you mean you can't select any gear while the engine is running ?
 Can you select the gears with the engine off ?  You may just have a clutch problem.
  You mentioned having a clutch that was acting up.

That would be him. I bought a bumper from him one time.
