Hello List,
I am a newbie for the 4th time. I just bought my 4th vanagon, a 1989 GL and was immediately reminded why I love vanagons. It is not the fact that we need a list just to stay on top of all the little quirks that we all love so much, but the people who drive them. As I began the drive home, the buzzer/oil light problem reared its ugly head. As I sat in the parking lot of a truck stop trying to decide whether or not I really had an oil problem, I was approached by a family who expressed genuine excitement about my new van purchase. We talked for 20 minutes about their vans, the vans I had owned before and about the oil light problem. It was a reminder to me that the community is a big draw. It always has been. I for one appreciated it.
Now to the problem. My clutch pedal is sticking on the up stroke. It feels like it is physically catching on something as it returns to the up position. I can not see any damage to pedal itself or the master clutch cylinder. It is drivable but sometimes the clutch hangs just before the clutch engages, making driving in traffic a little disconcerting.
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.
