Hi all,

 I'm looking at a Vanagon located in Topeka KS that
has decent mileage (around 70k), the body looks to be
in GC, but has some auto transmission problems.

  THe owner says it goes into reverse, but has no
forward gears.. is this a common problem? is it easily
fixed?

  I live in Buffalo, NY, and would like to get this
van, but would like to avoid having to tow it home-I'd
like to fly in and drive it home..

are there any list memebers that would be willing to
look at the van for me? I'd gladly re-imburse you for
your time... my main concerns are that there is no ATF
in the coolant and Vice versa

I'd really like to get this van,but it being over 1000
miles away make it a little difficult..

  thnaks for any and all help!

Percy- Buffalo NY
