Nice find! How much heavier is it? Can you get a GL on it and still be within
capability of your tow vehicle? How old are the tires?

I have a ’83 240D 4-speed manual, 300+++ miles. The shifter is loose and
occasionally feels completely disconnected and will not go into any gear. It
also locked up in neutral and would not move in any direction. In between
these episodes it works normally. What is going on?
Thank You.

HI John,
Most likely the bushings on each end of the shift rods (there are three of
them, so 6 bushings) are probably gone. This causes the levers on the
shifter to end up in odd places and occasionally jam. There are also
bushing in the shifter itself that can contribute to the problem. Best
Agreed, I had a Vanagon with a manual and it was hard to find the gears
