Manual trans having trouble shifting? (self.MechanicAdvice)

'03 Ford Ranger
My boyfriend's car is having a hard time going in to gear. In order to start the car, he has to pull up a little sleeve on the clutch pedal in order for the clutch to go in all the way. Then shifting into reverse is almost impossible and the car will drive backwards while the clutch is all the way down. Then moving forward, 1st is impossible, he has to start in second because the stick shifter won't go into first… Third is less hard to shift into and fourth is even less difficult (while driving or stopped). Another weird thing is sometimes when we're stopped and he tries to get it in gear, his spedometer shoots up to 80 or 90mph for a second without him pressing on the gas. Any suggestions welcome! A while back, he did have his gear box (I THINK) replaced… Ugh.
Just part of the issue, but research how to adjust the clutch. It sounds like a major part of his issues is coming from the clutch being out of adjustment. I would start there and work on what's left.

- Having a little car trouble. Can anyone I have a 2005 Ford Five Hundred. My engine light was on and the car started misfiring. Went to AutoZone and they code checked it with their machine and it said that the third coil pack was bad. Change that and the spark plugs. It still jerks and now when I accelerate the engine light blinks. Anyone know what it could be?
