My friend's son recently purchased a 1993 Ranger with 5sp MT; 93K miles.
He said recently he found it tough to get into reverse; today something happened and the clutch pedal now goes to the floor; he can shift thru the gears, but with the engine running it is like the clutch is completely disengaged all the time.
PO said the clutch was recently replaced.
A kind soul who owns a shop took interest and said these MTs are pretty finicky when bleeding the master cylinder and maybe the PO f'd the job up and dumped the vehicle; (I drove it and didn't have a problem shifting) Resev is topped off.
What could be the situation here. I was thinking thru the situation and thought if the clutch piston failed, the clutch should have been engaged, not disengaged. Am I right here?
Any help would be appreciated.
The kind soul is dropping by tomorrow to help bleed the MC. An inspection thru the inspection hole did not show the throw out bearing moving (I was told this)
