RE: [T3] HEATERS
i know this is an unrelated subject but i am fairly new to owning vw t3's
--this is the first of my own. its a 68 squareback descent condition
practically new engine..anyway i bought it a few days ago from a friend ,and
he had let it sit up for about a year and a half. it cranked up sounded good
drove good .....and then out of the blue i was pulling out of this parking
lot and when i went shift into 2nd it was like i couldn't find the gear. i
had the clutch down and i tried third and fourth..and nothing! so i pulled
over and tried to put it into gear and i gotten into 1st again and i drove a
few feet and tried to put into reverse and i couldn't get it either. well i
figured out that i could get it into 1st 3rd and 4th gears with some gentle
force...i had to get home so i had to drive it like that. my question is
....is my clutch out? i had to go to work so i didn't really have time to
look at it. if you have any clues to what it might be i would appreciate it.
thanks
Chad
