Hi,
I've got an automatic 87 Westy and this morning I noticed that there was a lack of power in first and second gear, especially going up the hill. When I got to work I saw smoke coming out the back and it was too hot to check the oil. I'm parked at work now and not sure whether I should risk moving it. Any thoughts on what might be causing this? I'm not so mechanically savvy, so the simpler the suggestions the better.
Thanks all,
Michael |

My advice? Call AAA today and buy a plus membership and have it towed. If you don't already have it, it's the best $99 a year you'll ever spend. Don't mention that the van is already broken until you call back for a tow. |
