Is it hard to shift into 1st, or any gear, when stopped?
If so that means you may have some air in the clutch hydraulic system, or pilot bearing is worn out
If its harder shifting when just moving then not a clutch issue, you can change the transmission fluid, many like synthetic version for smoother shifting
1997 Ranger will have an M5OD-R1(M5R1) manual transmission, these use ATF, yes automatic transmission fluid in a manual transmission
And they do not use much, 2.8 PINTS, so a quart and a half BONE DRY, usually you can only get a quart back in after draining
Mercon V is what Ford spec'ed, or synthetic version
On drivers side of trans is the drain and fill plugs
You will need a "bottle pump" to refill as its to tight to pour it out of a bottle into the fill hole
