Unhappy Inconsistant Clutch engaging problems

Hey everybody,

Last year around this time I purchased a 2001 ranger edge. I has the 3L v6 with a manual gearbox. I love it to death! I however need some assistance.

My clutch is very inconsistent, especially when it is hot out. I will start driving it and it will be fine, then ill either park at work or go about my errands and then the clutch won't disengage until my foot is all the way down. It gets so bad that i can barely disengage it enough to shift into first from a stand still. Even when it seems okay, the clutch is far from grabby.

The other day i was sitting in my garage just pumping the clutch, and every time I put my foot down I heard a suctioney popping noise.

I took it into the dealer to get the wiring harness recall taken care of and asked the mechanic to look at the clutch system. He said that my slave cylinder needs to be replaced. I have never had a slave problem before and am skeptical.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what might be going on?
