Recently put my foot on the clutch in my 1997 Ford ranger, 2.3L 4cyl, 5spd. Took every ounce of strength to get it down, then it didn't engage. Kinda sat there for a moment then it grabbed with a chirp of the tires. Worked fine for a few blocks then did it again.
Now, if you try to drive it, the clutch doesn't grab or do much of anything for a few minutes with your foot off the pedal, then it grabs and chirps the tires or kills the motor. Would this be a problem with the clutch hydraulics or is my pressure as rusty as the rest of the truck ?.

Thanks for any ideas or thoughts.
