I replaced the master cylinder (clutch) about a year and a half ago, transmission was replaced a year ago, with new clutch components.   The slave cylinder moves the release arm (although it doesn't seem to move very far about 3/4 of an inch) but the van won't go into gear.  The van periodically went into gear, but stalled itself because the clutch would not engage/disengage when I would stop.  No leaks anywhere that I can find.   Thanks,

The first time my clutch went out, the release arm was broken. Went through the whole
ordeal of checking the fluid, rebuiling the slave cylinder...only to frustration, (this was pre-list...). Finally I noticed that the lever on the clutch was staying down went I pushed on the pedal realised that the release arm itself was broken inside.
That was years ago...
Fixed a lot of things since then...
Getting better.
