Subject:Re: 84 vanagon. Push on clutch and does not move

As some sort of convoluted VW safety feature, the clutch always fails if you
have low hydraulic fluid before the brakes. The point in the hydraulic
resevior that the clutch master receives it's fluid is higher than the brake
master.

Has what happened to you? Does the pedal move? Does the bus move? Is there
any resistance? Is it stuck at the top? Does it feel like you are pushing
against fluid or a hard stop?
