Ok so on my 2002 ranger with a 2.3 manual. Ever since it became below freezing outside the clutch is acting funny. I think it might a have a leak somewhere and ever other day or so i have to add more clutch fluid. When it warms up the problem goes away. So is the slave/ master/ clutch frozen or is there a bigger problem at hand?

Hey. Just signed in to see if you had found a solution. I am having the same problem
with my 2001 Ranger: warms up fifteen minutes in the morning (dead of Iowa winter),
then shut it off, shift to reverse, back out of the drive, shut it off, shift into first, then wrestle
with the clutch. By mid-afternoon, it is shifting easily again. Have replaced the Master Cylinder,
bled the lines, etc. Frustrating, especially since it has been at the local Ford dealership for
this problem four times! Any success with yours?
