Help re transit van
...getting the old girl ready for the holiday season and ever since i had it,it has had an annoying trait.......it judders/kanaroos when you pull away in first ALL the time and when cold crunches the gears between 1st and 2nd...it doesnt clutch slip at all...so what is wrong...is it normal or is the clutch fucked or a flywheel that needs skimming??????

Sounds just like classic transit van clutch judder Phil just about all of them do it it seems to be worse when cheaper clutches are used aswell (not that im calling you a scruffy cunt with a cheap clutch tho )

The juddering on that age Transit is generally an oil leak from the rear crank shaft oil seal getting onto the clutch and causing it to slip when cold but burns off when hot. Fairly simple job to do.
Not to sure about the crunching between 1st and 2nd though.

Sounds like the forks are weak in the pressure plate, new clutch kit needed me thinks and as said above dont use a cheap and nasty kit if you are keeping the van as they are shite and dont last and usually cause problems
Crunching could be caused by a worn synchro between 1st and 2nd gear, unless its fairly serious i would try the new clutch kit in it first and hopefully that makes a difference and gives a smoother gearchange.

Get the flywheel skimmed and the clutch changed. I've smashed a few propshaft universal joints on my old van with that clutch judder.
The crunching will be syncros in the box so while it's out for the clutch/flywheel, get the syncros replaced.
