I flew out to look at a 1999 Dina about ten days ago. However, the transmission on the bus no longer goes into drive. I took the bus out for a twenty or thirty minute drive where everything was working fine. I parked the bus back at the car lot, and turned it off. They wanted me to back up the bus into the spot it had been sitting. I backed up a ways, but I needed to pull forward because they wanted it over further. The bus would no longer shift into drive. I turned it off, and started it again to no avail. The bus hasn't moved from that spot since I left as it won't shift into drive anymore. They got someone to replace the front brake chambers as one of the Rotochambers was leaking air bad.
I am pretty sure this B500 has a WTEC III. Any ideas why a B500 with WTEC III won't shift from the shift pad? Could there be an interlock with the entry door, or with the entry step? I am going to look over the wiring diagrams.
I am starting to wonder if this is a sign I shouldn't buy the bus. I already spent almost $500 on a plane ticket, but I would rather throw away $500 than spend $5,000 on a bus that I can't drive due to transmission issues.
