hello, I have a 2000 2.5 L, manual 4 cyl. engine. I have had this ranger sitting for about a month and just found out the engine was very low on oil. I went to start it and the clutch would not not press down. I gave a little force with my foot and the clutch went to the floor without doing anything. I crawled under and seen the cable that goes into the clutch popped out and spilled about a half of cup of oil to the pavement.
Can some one tell me in basic few words how the clutch operates? I am assuming the clutch is hydraulic? Can someone tell me what I am in store for in getting this repaired? A new hydraulic line and maybe freeing up the frozen clutch? would the low oil in the crankcase have anything to do with the clutch cable (line) blowing out like this? The engine starts up and runs good, although you can not shift the gears while the engine is running. I instinctively tried at the get go. When the engine is off I can shift through the gears. thanks a bunch for any Information.
