My 85 Vanagon had some shifting problems a few years ago.  There is this Nylon Ball thing, right there underneath.  My mechanic immediately understood the problem.  Those plastic parts wear.  Mine did.  Later too, another mechanic replaced the plastic "Ears" on the shift rod into the box.  These things fixed my issues, for cheap.  Not, I don't think you need to go with anything fancy.

 Have any of you tried one of the fancy shifters that are available. E.g. Van Cafe's Big Shot shifter or T3Technique's Motorsport shifter?

My shifter needs rebuilding, why I'm thinking about it.
