Subject:1985 Vanagon - clutch is out?
From:Larry Word
Date:Sun, 14 Jan 2007 15:24:51 -0500

My daily driver Vanagon "lost" its clutch on the way to work last week?

            -Driving along VanHappy

-Then..Syncronizer noise going into 3rd, then 4th gears...

            -The difficulty shifting into ANY gear!

            -Now cannot move van unless put in gear before you start..

            -I no longer can shift any gears while engine is running.

My brake/clutch fluid is high and on the mark.

When clutch pedal is pushed to the floor, the slave cylinder arm moves about
1.5 inches (at the bellhousing).

*I want this to just be a slave cylinder and not a pressure plate issue?

No noise when I drive the van now just cannot shift gears...

Any other option for my trouble other than pressure plate (2-3-4 yr. old HD
when installed?).

Thanks for any advice...
