HELP!

Recently had engine rebuilt and clutch replaced on my 90 Vanagon and
today it wouldn't go into gear....any gear.

I Had noticed that the clutch seemed progressively "low" meaning as I
released the clutch, say in first gear, the gear would engage almost
immediately.  Today, the clutch pedal just couldn't go down far enough.

Here's the strange thing: after pumping the clutch several times
quickly, I was able to get the van back in gear, and it didn't have any
trouble getting home.

Am planning huge trip SOUTH in a month or two and need to know if this
is minor clutch problem, or potential transmission trouble.  Van has
150K on orig tranny.

THE LIST RULES!

Thank you for any help-
