Update - I scoured the archives looking for possible leads and found several posts that indicated possibly having a bad slave cylinder, even though I was getting some movement out of it when I first tested it. I bled the slave cylinder and when I re-started the van. I depressed teh clutch and attempted to get into all gears. Finally, it went into fourth, a little notchy, but it went in. Right after that, with the clutch depressed, I was able to get it into all gears. I decided to try a quick run around the block. It shifted a little notchy at first, but smoothed out in the first 1/4 mile. Then, after only going a 1/4 mile further, it started displaying the same symptoms again, not wanting to go into gear. I limped back home in fourth. Dennis, I thank you for your advice. I was starting to think along that lines, too. Brian
