In my vanagon z34, the van runs fine and the tranny
shifts somewhat smoothly (other than into first) when
the tranny is cold.  However, when the transaxle has
warmed up, the tranny makes a grinding noise.  The
shifting is the same, but the tranny makes more noise.
 When I release the clutch pedal, and the van starts
to move, the noise goes away.  Also, there is clutch
chatter.

My INEXPERT evaluation:   warped flywheel?
                       or not enough tranny fluid?
                       or not enough clutch fluid?
                       or bad front engine mount?

Thanks in advance,
peace. out.
