I've got a '97 Ford Ranger 2.3L 2WD manual transmission.

While my car is in gear and I push the clutch pedal down, there is still a little power going to the wheels. When I'm sitting at a red light, it still wants to move forward. In higher gears, I have to match the RPM's so it will engage. It feels like my clutch isn't disengaging all the way.

What could cause this? How would I diagnose this?

I have had the same problem once. You have to bleed your clutch as soon as possible, because you're putting a lot of wear on your gearbox' synchro rings when shifting while your clutch isn't fully disengaged. I guess you have felt that shifting may go a lot rougher than before.

Also, for now, put the box asap in neutral instead of just pushing the clutch. You minimize unduly wear on your clutch plate this way until you have bled out the clutch.
