I'm assuming you're referring to a long travel before the clutch dis-engages. In my experience with four Vanagons, this has always been caused by air in the line between the clutch master and slave cylinder. Pull the dash pod to determine whether your fluid is low (that indicates a leak somewhere), and commence bleeding procedures. This should bring your pedal engage/dis-engage point up higher--towards you. If not, then you may need a master and/or slave cylinder.
