I have a 97 Ford Ranger with the 2.3 and manual trans. Whenever I go to stop at any time the motor starts to stall and tries to idle at around 400 to 500 rpm's then jumps back up. It also has trouble shifting back into gear if I pull it out of gear at a dead stop, with the clutch still pressed in. I am leaning towards the clutch going bad, but the clutch pedal feels perfectly fine which would make me think its something else. I ran a smoker through the vacuum lines at the EVAP system and it didn't leak smoke anywhere except at the IAC valve at the vent, which is normal. Is there something I'm missing?
