I went and dropped the van off at the local shop. There are two left in town
(used to be 4 or 5), both stocked the cheapest clutch (Sachs not Luk) and
one wanted $600-700 and would take about a week to work it in (they mainly
work on new VWs, Audis, Porsches, and Saabs), the other wanted $350 and
would have it done by the end of the day (they mainly do aircooled and 80's
VW's, tons of Vanagons). Needless to say I went with the later. I told them
whats up and what I thought the problem was and to check the input shaft and
replace it if it was messed up. Hopefully that will cure the problem and I
wont have to take the tranny out until I am ready for a 5-speed :)

Thanks for all the advice,
Nathan
