Subject:      1985 Vanagon - clutch is out?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"


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...
