That sound exactly the same as what's happening to mine. I used it for a while knowing the brakes had to be pumped and pumped to get them to work, but as I was using it, I found out the hard way the clutch started acting up, when I squished the fridge up against my garage. In order to get the clutch to fully dis-engage, I have to engage it fully, then dis-engage it, or I creep along and can't get it outta gear. But if you only have 3 feet to the garage....

The truck is in pretty good shape, except the fender flares, they are pretty rotten. The wheel wells have some rust I have to deal with as well, but over all it is not too bad, especially for the price!
