Ah! Carramba!
Don't these Vanagons just test your patience sometimes ?.
When I put my Web Site back up I'm going to start selling little bags of
Soft Rock for people to throw at their Vanagons when frustration
overwhelms them.
In the interim period: Check the threaded adjuster on your clutch
actuator arm, see if it is about the same as the tranny you installed (if
not try to match them).
The clutch will gravity bleed so just loosen the top bleeder and set a
coffee can under it and keep filling the reservoir until you've gotten
lots of fluid through the system.
An inch of play at the beginning of travel is about right but an inch
near the floor isn't much good.
New clutch disk often need compressing so you might notice some slight
change after the disk burns in and the fibers compress.
Most Clutch Master cylinders leak in conjunction with failing so if you
got a leak then your Clutch MC is gone.
