How do you fix a clutch in a 1997 Ford Ranger that you have to mash into the floor in order to start?
There are a variety of problems to check, ranging from the clutch cable being worn or too slack - through to the clutch disc being worn and not separating.
Best thing to do is buy a Haynes manual and read through that if you want to do the work yourself. Otherwise take it into a garage or to a mechanic.
So saying - clutches are relatively easy to change yourself - provided you have the right tools and basic experience of working on a car.
What else can I help you with?
Why won't ford ranger diesel push start It has manual transmission.?
Because you have to have the clutch depressed to start it. They came factory with a clutch safety switch that will not allow the engine to start unless the clutch pedal is pressed to the floor . NOT. the clutch safety switch only allows the starter to be energized... If the glow plugs will cycle then the truck can be pulled to start. When my starter solenoid was bad I pulled it to start.

No, the throw out bearing in a clutch is needed to keep an disengaged clutch spinning. you can drive a car with a bad throwout bearing if you don't use the clutch By "floating the gears". You must disconnect or bypass the start safety switch (this is when you need to have the clutch pedal to the floor to start the moter) so that you can start the car in gear if you come to a complete stop.

There is a switch on the clutch pedal that keeps you from starting the car in gear and killing someone. You should use your clutch anyways. Saves wear and tear on the starter and battery

First thing to check if your slave is bled is the pressure plate athoue the clutch may have pressure, it dose not always engage the clutch all the way witch would cause slamming of the clutch. Anothing thigs to check on those if you have had you clutch changed resintly make sure that the proper clutch has been in stalted because there are a couple diffrent choise. If that's not it all I can think of is your slave is low on fluid. Hope this helps you. If not it was a start.Answercheck th eshifting/clutch fork it may be worn or cracked
