in newly purchased '82 westy, two things are going on with the clutch: a) shifting is stiff, as if some grease or oil is needed on some knuckles and elbows down there. b) just today, i had the clutch to the floor and was in reverse, waiting for some traffic to move, when the clutch seemed to fade and i was briefly locked into reverse. i muscled it out of reverse, pumped the clutch a couple of times, and got it back into gear and took off. it shifted ok after that. it felt like there may be low fluid -- i assume there is fluid in there somewhere -- or maybe some air in a line. this van has sat for months at a time for many years. is there a place to add fluid? any other thoughts? many thanks. art mcginn '82 westy, '82 van
