Regarding the clutch problem I had someone reinstall the cylinders and it worked great. Got the van started the other day by waiting an hour and holding the gas down while starting. 800 miles later it just stopped accelerating uphill. Hope it just needs to cool down. I'll definitely pick up the manual if I make it to nyc tomorrow.
