More Vanagon Work
by brian @ 23:04:32 - [perma-link]
Yesterday I pulled the transmission out of the Vanagon. Today I dropped it off to get rebuilt. The manual shows way too many special tools needed, plus I already have experience destroying a ring and pinion; I don't need to do that again. I'd rather spend my time doing interior work (lights, radio, computer, etc) and getting it ready for Burning Man.

This evening I fixed a couple of things in the driver's door. The window was sticking halfway down. Looks like it got stuck at some point and someone forced it, and bent the mechanism, easily fixed by bending it back into place. It is still rubbing on the inside of the door where the felt padding has worn away. I'll fix that tomorrow.

Oh yeah. The electric mirrors work now, too. It was a fuse. I checked all 22 of them, then looked up the only one that was blown, #12 Outside electric mirrors. Woohoo!
