Clutch or trans?

[betard_foosier]

Hey all, I have an 04 ranger with a 2.3, 5 speed and 2wd. I just put a lunchbox locker in it this week, and coincidentally or not, I now feel like my clutch is not disengaging all the way. When I put the truck in gear from stopped, it slightly jumps forward, and shifting gears is more difficult now, plus when I roll to a stop with the clutch in it feels like its dragging the engine down. What could have happened? Truck only has 80k miles. The only thing I can think of that changed when I put the locker in is that I went out on some wet sand to try and spin my tires to make sure locker is engaging, could that have broke something?

Sounds more like a hydraulic issue to me. Be it the slave or master cylinder.

ya sure sounds hydrolic. check the fluid, if its low top it up, if not look for wet runs on the driver firewall near resevoir, if its the resevior its an easy fix, and most likely cheap
