Hard to start truck due to clutch?
I just bought a 97 Dodge Dakota, 4cyl 5speed, 2wd, high miles.
When I disengage the clutch (to start the truck), I have to press it really hard before it will let me start, which is kind of annoying. I don't know if it's normal for Dakotas, but I know that my grandpa's s-10 didn't act like that, so I'm guessing something's wrong.
I've read in a few posts that I can't adjust the clutch, so I don't know if there's anything I can do.
Also, I was told that the clutch was new as of January 08.
Any info on this would be great.
