Just picked up a '97 Ranger 4 cyl./5 speed for a daily with 81K miles on it. At a stand still, it is hard to get it into first and second gears. Once I am going 3rd though 5th are fine. Getting into reverse at a stop is fine, also. First thing in the morning is the worst. As I drive and it warms up it gets a little better. I checked the clutch master cylinder and the fluid level is fine and fairly clean. I see no seepage around the bell housing telling me the clutch slave is leaking. The gears do not grind at all and the clutch pedal feels fine as well as when the clutch grabs...what do I need to look at more closely?? Thank you for any info you can provide.
