Hello and help is required

[fijamz]

Hello all. I am new to your forum, and am in real need of some inside help.
Let me first say that I live on a small island in Long Island Sound, with only a ferry service to the mainland. We do have a service station but no parts store.
So here is the deal. I have a 95 Ranger XLT 3.0. I am having a really really hard time starting the truck. I have replaced the clutch safty once and that seemed to rectify the problem but only for about a week. I am now back to just about pushing the clutch through the fire wall to get anything. There is always 10-30 seconds of constant pressure before any action.
Help help as I am afraid if I put the truck on the ferry it may never get off.
Many Thanks in advance for any advice.
