Hello,

Thanks for the additional advice.

The problem still comes and goes, but there is very little drag now.
All gears are affected.  I think that the only solution is to tear it
down and replace parts.  At 130,000 miles on the original clutch, I
shouldn't complain.  My biggest issue at the moment is trying to avoid
further damage, such as wearing out the synchros.  I would prefer to do
the work myself, but I am swamped with other stuff to do, and until I
get my ElectraVan fixed, I'm short (no pun intended) one car.  So, I
think that I will have to drive another few hundred miles the way it is,
or pay to have someone else fix it.

Thanks again for the advice.
