My daily driver Vanagon "lost" its clutch on the way to work last week? -Driving along VanHappy -Then..Syncronizer noise going into 3rd, then 4th gears... -The difficulty shifting into ANY gear! -Now cannot move van unless put in gear before you start.. -I no longer can shift any gears while engine is running.
My brake/clutch fluid is high and on the mark. When clutch pedal is pushed to the floor, the slave cylinder arm moves about 1.5 inches (at the bellhousing).
*I want this to just be a slave cylinder and not a pressure plate issue?
No noise when I drive the van now just cannot shift gears...
Any other option for my trouble other than pressure plate (2-3-4 yr. old HD when installed?).
Thanks for any advice...
