I took my 83 van in to get serviced an the next day, or less than 200 mi, The trans, failed. It started with a loud whining noise in 1st gear and it stop in 2nd and came back in 4th after a few miles it lock up in 1st.. Also the rear seal is now leaking.. The whole thing makes me wonder??. When the mechanic drop the pan the oil look good and clean and didn’t smell to burnt, just a little and very little black in the filter an a little metal on the magnet, I then went and got dount when I came back he was puting the pan back on.. I am wondering if he could have done something to make the trans, fail??? Please let me know if you got any ideas.. Thanks.. RVFlyfisher

Tip:
On the inside of the 4x4 you will notice either an extra gear lever or dial on the dash which allows you to shift the vehicle into high or low range 4WD. As a general rule, for moderate inclines, slippery or sandy situations, use 4WD high range. For very deep water crossings, steep or rocky ground use 4WD low range. If you are not sure about this read your owners manual or join a club.
