Brian,
     You need to hone your communication skills a bit.
I assume you "do not start your van in gear" but you
start the van out of gear or clutch disengaged.
  So does the jolt happen in first and reverse?
Jack the van up and look for slop in the axels?
When was the last time you greased them?
      regards gary

Subject: Clutch Need Adjust?

I've just started noticing that if I start my van when
cold, in gear,
with
clutch engaged, that ther is a small jolt forward as
if the clutch was
not fully
engaged.  Is this just a pedal throw adjustment, or
more likely
something
with the hydraulics? Also, I was wondering if most of
you flush & bleed
your
clutch system like we do routinely with our brakes.

THANKS

    Brian
