Sounds like you just lost hydraulic fluid.  Before you pull the trans., see
if the clutch arm moves at all.  It may just be time for a new master/slave
replacement.

Subject:    What happened?

Hi Volks,
Sunday ,when I got back from Everybus towing "The Love Bug",( which is
similar to a Scamp)  my '80 Vanagon would go into gear but just rev up.  If
I really gave it some rpms, the vanagon moved a bit.  I thought the clutch
went and plan to replace it this weekend.  I noticed two days later, that
the grass was dead where the bus was having difficulties moving.  Any ideas
as to what may have happened?  Thanks!
