Nope Caulky, you are not alone - me too!

But..............I still love my Tranny!

My MK2 Transit Camper is such a thrill to drive it feels every little bump in the road and wonders all over the road when it feels like it. The speedo is 10mph out so you think you are going much faster.You have to wear your clogs to assist the braking, simply open the drivers door and use your clog assisted brakes. The drivers window usually does fall out but duct tape sorts this out and the heater fan always screams but the old MK2's are really great fun to drive and quite economical too.
