 getting the van into gear.  I found that with the clutch pedal to the floor
 it would grind into reverse.  With the clutch pedal to the floor you could
 shift into 1st-4th, but it would grap within the first inch of pedal
 movement.  The fellow who works on my van has looked at this problem before
 and said the "shift guides" are worn.  The problem went away, but now is
 back.  Any help would be appreciated. Van has 140K on it.

Sounds like the clutch is not releasing.  Could be a hydraulic or pressure
plate problem.
