Charles,
Congrats & WELCOME TO EVC PARADISE! :) But I must warn you, this
place can become and ADDICTION real fast, so be prepared!
Actually, you are one of the lucky ones to find this site. Frankly,
as an EVC & EVWK owner, I would be "lost" without it. Here, you will
find pretty much everything you'll need to know about the care &
maintenance of your EVC. Plus you're sure to make a few great friends
that are always willing to help!
For starters...there is a good chance the tranny in your EVC just
needed to hae the "magic tranny reset trick" applied. (see files
section) Your EVC has an "adaptive" tranny, meaning it adapts to your
driving habits, and every once in awhile you'll find it will not
shift past 2nd gear, until "reset" the tranny. Most tranny shops DO
NOT know about the reset "trick" and have taken some unsuspecting EV
owners for a REAL EXPENSIVE, yet unnecessary "ride!"
Best of luck with your "new" EVC. You've got LOTS to learn. I've been
here a few years & still learning!
Best, Billy"Seagull"

Ok, thanks for existing and I'm glad I found you here; just joined.
I bought one of these crazy things yesterday in Boulder, CO; 2001
Eurovan Camper with 51k miles and super fine shape (as well it
should
be, it was pretty expensive) (but I'm NOT remorseful--we're really
looking forward to driving and enjoying this van). A few fairly
innocuous dings on the outside, and inside nothing much more than
one
of the two large black handles in the pop-top ceiling having been
yanked on too hard, it would appear (I have the handle and will be
trying to re-install it better and for good). Its auto
transmission
completely failed in 2004 under warranty and so it now has about
10k
miles on the new one; I <guess> that's a good thing...! Poring
over
the actual machine, and all the extensive documentation that came
with
it. I'm happy to be here!
