Hi Blueline873, I have an '89 Ram 50 5 speed. One day at a stop sign I went to shift into first and there was nothing to the clutch...no resistance. I coasted out of the way and when I looked underneath I saw the arm that the clutch cable connects to had broken and was hanging there. The arm goes over the end of the shaft that the clutch fork is attached to. My truck is a 2WD 2.0 4 banger with a clutch cable but maybe your clutch fork arm is part of the issue. BTW...my local Dodge house showed NONE of those arms in stock anywhere in the USA so I had to weld the old one back together. That was 3 years ago and that's ONE thing that I haven't had any trouble out of.
Good luck!
