Q: I have a 95 Ford ranger standard and when the clutch is pressed in it will not disengage and also the brakes push in clutch presse
I have a ranger that has sat for about three years in a garage. The oil has been changed regularly even though it hasn’t been driven. The issues I’m having are with the clutch and brake. When I push the clutch it sticks to the floor and also engages the brake when pushed in. The truck also doesn’t want to stay idled after starting very well. That could be from old gas I’m not sure. How can I go about fixing these issues
My car has 120000 miles.
