Well This has got to be one for the record book!

I HAVE ADVICE for all! Oil Your clutch linkage!

I have the same problem. Drove from PA to OH, to Erik O's for some parts, this clutch linkage was one of them. After removing the dash and the entire pedel assembly from the top, (it's the only way it will come out), we found it to, to be just as worn out! Obviously this is a common problem. My other Vanagon is in good shape. As I remember about 4 years ago the pedel was squeeking, so I did what anyone who could see the parts would do, oiled it! The only problem is that you cann't see what your oiling! OIL YOUR CLUTCH LINKAGE!
