Dylan,
first check the linkage. You probably need to turn the spline by one tooth
(which direction??? i don't remember).  That did it for me. Although i
have an 84 non-syncro.

Good luck

I recently replaced the clutch slave cylinder, which had only minor effect.  The van shifts once it is moving, with the engine running.  Is this a clutch issue, linkage issue or something that I can't find in Bentley.  Any feedback and/or help would be appreciated.  Thanks.
