Okay, call it coincidence... but I was just telling a buddy at work today that my Ranger's (2003) clutch didn't seem to be acting right now that it's cold. I don't remember it happening last year, but 3rd and 4th gear seem a little harder to get into. Seems like what you described.

I think it's a hydrolic clutch like the s10 but I haven't looked. If so we may need to check fluid first? Like I said I could be wrong. I haven't looked to see what it was. Are you for sure they use cables? If so you migh wanna check for fluid leaking from the transmission. I had an 86 Mustang that wouldn't engage because the tranny casing cracked. Hope this helps!
