When on my last rip with Daryl last week, we came across a woman and her son in a '90 Westy
stuck on a long uphill grade with a van that stopped shifting. Stuck in 2nd gear. Daryl bled the
clutch slave in the engine compartment (at firewall, left side of engine) and they were on their
way. Warning: clutch master cylinder was going back and allowing air into the line and the
condition (not shifting) would reappear sooner or later.
