I had the same problem, but it got so bad the van
would just 'pop' out of reverse.  One lower bolt was
broken off, the other just loose.  I tightened the
loose one, and all has been well since.  Ive yet to
fix the broken one (yikes).

My slave had a slow leak, and was difficult to shift
into first.  I replaced the slave, and viola, smooth
as butter baby.

good luck
