Ford F150 1996 model year,300 cubic 6 cylinder with 5 speed manual transmission. Very cold morning started truck had it in gear parking brake on and the clutch pedal on the floor. Started engine still holding the clutch pedal to the floor the clutch engaged trying to move the vehicle forward. Since the brake was on this killed the engine. I let up on the clutch th pedal stayed on the floor. I kickd the pedal it came back up. I pumped the pedal a few times and restarted the engine, it was fine then and the clutch seemed fine from then on out. I did check the clutch fluid it was fine. 2 years later very cold morning about 7 F the clutch did the same thing it engaged and would not release until it had warmed up.

While driving up a hill vehicle will lose power and could shut off. Consumer believed that was caused by the clutch. Mechanic found mice nest in bell housing, not allowing the clutch to engage all the way.
