hi folks,

i have a 2006 ford ranger 2.5tdci with a 5 speed manual and selectable 4x4.

problem is 1st and 2nd gears are difficult to engage this is even more so when engine is warm. when engine is off they work fine. even when lower gears wont engage from 3rd up work fine even at dead stop reverse works fine too. when i manage to engage 1 and 2 they drive fine no hesitation or anything, at times i have to put it in low so i get off a dead stop on 3rd gear.

ive also noticed clutch pedal feel spongy and woozy for lack of better descriptive words
