    Hard To Shift Into 1st Gear

    Hey, thanks for all the replies and ideas. It turned out to be something unrelated to the clutch. Something I didn't put in my original post (because I didn't realize it at the time) was that when it wouldn't go into first gear it felt like the force on the stick was pushing against more than...

    Well, I've gone and done it . . .

    . . . and bought a 1992 Ford Ranger XLT. After a brief four year dalliance with a 1983 Chevrolet C20 6.2 Detroit Diesel, I've come back to Ford. I have previously owned a 1970 Ford F100, 1981 Ford F100, 1989 Ford F150, and a 1993 Ford F250 International IDI. So I'm not new to Ford Trucks, but...
