Okay so a couple of months ago my clutch(95 Ford Ranger V6) was acting up and the person driving it checked the fluid and it was dry. They filled it up and it worked fine. I didn't worry about bleeding it because it was working fine. They couldn't remember if the clutch was firm or soft but they think it was soft. I would think that it would go soft for lack of pressure. So fast forward to yesterday. I'm driving in stop and go traffic in the city. Suddenly the clutch became stiff and didn't want to go to it's usual position. At the same time the transmission started slipping and wouldn't engage at all for a few seconds then it would suddenly engage. I pulled over at a gas station and checked the fluid. It was a little low but not very much. After about 5 minutes I got back in and all was well. I had this issue intermittently for the next couple of hours as I made my way home. Once on the interstate it was fine. After getting back in stop and go I had the issue intermittently till I was home. This morning I got in the truck and without starting it I pushed in the clutch once and it felt perfect. I went to press it in a second time and it wouldn't budge. I waited a few minutes and could press it multiple times with no issue.
So can I get some thoughts on what the problem may be? Thank you kindly for any genuine responses.
