Clutch difficult to downshift from 3rd
Hey guys. I have a 1998 Ranger XLT 3.0L 4x4 5speed manual. It has 207K miles on it. I replaced the clutch when I bought it in August with 202K miles on it. I then drove from SoCal to Illinois with no issues.
Now, when I slow down to make a turn, I shift out of 3rd, and it is very difficult to shift into 2nd or 1st. The slower I am going, the more likely I am to be able to put the shifter in 1st or 2nd, but it is still a crap-shoot. About half the time, I end up having to stop entirely, then it goes into 1st with no issues, and away I go. The clutch pedal feels normal.
What is going on? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
