Brad,

Look under your inst. pod to see if you have enough fluid.  The clutch
feeds off a level just below the thick plastic seam on the res.

Could be either master or slave clutch cyl.  For some reason my '82 has
gone through a slave every 3 or so years since new.  Seems to be a low
spot which holds moisure compared to the other cyl. in the system.  Just
replaced my master for the first time since van bought new in 1982.  Was
not corroded, just worn after 18 years of use.

If your master is gone you would probably be smelling fluid in the front
leaking onto your carpet etc.  The slave is hard to see but is above the
tranny/bell housing and would likely be leaking if bad.

Van-again just notified the list of a deal on clutch master cyl.  Just
after I bought one full price .... of course!   A good deal
none-the-less.

Good luck,

George Lehman
Superior, Wisconsin
