If the van is stationary and you get crashing going into first gear than
the problem is most likely the clutch is not fully releasing. If you are
only getting crashing while the van is moving it can also be a bad Syncro
or hub or something else internal.

A question for the tranny gurus. My syncro first gear will
intermittently grind. No warning of this and sometimes will go for
days without it happening. Recently replaced clutch master cylinder,
could a bubble in the fluid cause this or is it a bum syncronizer?
Thanks
Rick
