To check the motor mounts remove the wieght of the engine/trans. by
jacking up under the engine it self. Only jack up enough to take
the pressure off the mount, otherwise you could damage the mount.
Once the pressure is off, you will be able to pry on the mount side
to side and see if it is still bonded to its steel parts.
    This is not likely to be the problem. Vanagon clutch forks are
a known cause of clutch chater.
