I was down at my PO mechanic getting some springtime work done on my
91 syncro westy and 'for fun' I asked him to jack up the rear wheels on a
wheeled dolly and try and drive off.  The idle was at about 850ish rpms with a
warm engine.  At idle, in granny gear, as the clutch was let out (slightly) the
van crept forward. same in reverse - crept backwards.

I assume that this is NOT good news.  We also tried to take out the front
drive shaft, but the bolts were seized in.  Rather than cut off the bolts, I
decided to just leave it in.  The front tires do NOT scrub or bind when I turn a
tight corner.
