I recently purchased a 2000 Ranger 2.5L 5 speed. When I purchased the truck I noticed excessive clutch pedal free travel (1-1/2").
I have noticed during this winter that when the ambient temperatures are cool (~45F and below) that the clutch pedal free travel disappears and when the temperatures warm up that the free travel comes back. I have done nothing other than check the fluid level in the clutch master cylinder which is OK.
What could be the cause of the excessive free travel and why does it disappear when the ambient temperatures are cool?
Thanks for your help.
