Is the brake hydrolic system in some way connected to the clutch hydrolic
system? The bentley book talks about filling the resevoir in the clutch
section.

The reason I ask is I notice that my clutch pedal when fully depressed
doesn't seem to disengage the clutch as much as I might expect.  When in
first gear and pulling out, the slightest lift of my foot off the floor
causes a little grab..  The grab stays small until I'm about 1" off the
pedal entirely.

I know my brake fluid needs to be changed..  I recently put a new
transmission in.  I didn't screw with the clutch hydrolics at all.   My
intuition tells me they are two closed and seperate systems.   Maybe I need
to have my clutch fluid changed?  I don't have a pressure bleeder, so I
guess I can't do it myself.

The reason this really bothers me is because it's sometimes tough to get
into 3rd.  I think this is the reason... though I could be wrong.

Why aren't there MORE vanagon fanatics?!
