  View original topic: Transmission Help 1.9td AAZ 1987 Doka
jdluna Yesterday 8:14 pm

I have a Doka with a 1.9 AAZ with a 4 speed manual. The Shifter seems free from the transmission to some degree. I can get it into some gears but not reliably. The shifter feels like I can just pull it straight up and out.

I don't know much about transmissions, so I should probably take it to a shop but I wanted to see if it might be something manageable before I gave it a try.

Any advice is appreciated.

Best first step is to get some help. A helper is in the drivers seat “going thru the gears, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th. (engine off)
You go under the van and look at what moves, try to describe it.
Or take a video and post it somewhere that we can see it.

There are a few low-cost failures that you can hope for.

If we can figure out a few things you will be much better off when talking to mechanics if you know something about the problem.

That sounds like the ball and socket joint at the bottom of the shifter might need attention.
