Why do i sometimes get clutch 'rub' when engaging first gear?
Only happens sometimes and only with first gear. If i engage nice and slowly it's fine but if i need a quick get away i experience a rubbing sensation through the pedal.
Ford Fiesta Zetec S. Mk6 '56.

Might need the clutch fluid topping up or bleeding the system, or the slave cylinder could be leaking. Try pumping the clutch pedal a few times before putting it in gear.
By "rub'. Do you mean a kind of chattering feeling? Do you ride the clutch a lot, or let it slip? Not many miles on car, so I'm guessing the clutch disc is glazed from excess friction. Clutch needs to be engaged or disengaged ONLY, not used as a brake. Live with it, learn to operate manual transmission correctly, hopefully your next clutch will last longer.

- Help truck isn't going into gear and when I let the clutch out it does? I have a 2001 standard Ford ranger. I barely had a new clutch put in last year. But anyway I was going down highway in 5th gear and as I was going to put it in neutral it made a loud popping noise and then died. So I went to the side of the road and tried starting it, nothing. It starts up fine but the minute I let off the clutch it dies and when I try to shift it into 1 3 or 5 it feels like some thing is blocking it it'll act like it goes into 2 an 3 but it doesn't engage.
