I was driving my 1989 ranger with the 2.9 and the 5 speed. I had to pull over for about 2 minutes and just left the truck running. Everything was working fine when i got out. I got back in and went to press the clutch, it didn’t press. It was completely stiff. I ended up pressing down pretty hard and the pedal got very easy to push and I heard fluid coming it somewhere. Crawled under the truck and saw that the hydraulic line had blown out of the fitting at the transmission. My first question is
1. What would cause the pedal to go stiff like this?
2. I couldn’t figure out how to connect the line back in...How does the hydraulic fitting go back into the transmission?
I ended up getting it to slowly roll and put it in 1st and drove it home without the clutch..it shifted fine, being I wasn’t using the clutch with shifts, but it limped home and still shifted. Thanks for the help!
