newbie to the site, so wanted to say hello first off. Just bought my 1st t25 1.9 petrol from 1983 (had 2 t25s before, but never a petrol one!) He's in abit of a sorry state, lots of welding and body work to be done but I love these old vans and have just sold my t4 to fund the resto!
When I got "Burt" (he's bright yellow!) The gear linkage was so sloppy I couldn't tell if I was in gear or not! So I've changed the linkage at the gear stick end and the hooked link next to the gearbox. Changes gear lovely now but with my foot off the accelerator letting the van take itself down the lane it can make a small clunk and half slips out of 1st with no power, just revs. Doesnt seem to do this if using the accelerator or when driving/under load? Could I have not lined up the gear stick linkage properly? Read theres a gauge setting in the gearstick housing but can't find this dimension anywhere. Or is there a more serious underlying problem. As I've only just got the van I'm not sure if this was a problem already.
Love "Bert" already but he's got to be on top form as he's my daily driver
Any help hints or suggestions would be greatly appreciated
