While slowing down at a stop light I tried to engage my clutch pedal and gear became stif, and I could not shift out of 4th gear. The clutch pedal would travel down to almost the floor and not come back up. I got the gear shift into netural and sat for the light. The clutch pedal slowly returned to it's normal position, I depress it again and there was alot of free travel, but I did get it into gear and drove right into a earnhardt dealership that I was going by. I had taken my vehicle into have a similar clutch problem check out last month at the same dealership earnhardt and they could not fine any thing wrong through computer testing. They are saying now that it could be the clutch master or a clutch slave component. The vehicle a Ford Ranger 2001 has under 36,000 miles and just over 3 yrs old. I have an extended warranty with western national warranty scottdale, AZ 85255 they say they don't cover these components. I never recieved a copy of the policy. I am waiting on this information to be sent to me. I do not under stand how these component with less than 36,000 miles and mostly highway driving go out.

Problem 1- vehicle regularly stalls or idles so low power steering and power brakes are lost. Problem occurs when slowing for and entering corners and when coming to a stop. Local dealership tells me this is normal and to not worry about it. Problem 2- clutch does not engage when pedal is released. After a moment it releases on its own Accord and truck jerks forward violently. Clutch slave cylinder has already been replaced once.
