Subject:      Help, Shifting/Clutch Problem???

Hi All,
        I have an 82 diesel Westy which I got a few months ago. Engine is running
good but I've had a lot of noise (rumbling like?) when I put the clutch in
right from the start. When I let it out the noise would go away. Also have had
trouble getting into reverse without grinding. Otherwise the clutch and
shifting has been working well.
        Suddenly today I starting getting a feeling that something was grabbing a
little as I would come to a stop. Also several times I had trouble getting it
to go in gear when I was going slow, and had the gears grind as I put it into
fourth a few times. The clutch is not slipping though. Any ideas?? I am not a
mechanic however I do have a decent number of tools and as money is tight I
try to fix things myself if the repair is not to complex.
Thanks so much for any help on this.
Michael
