clutch problems

I recently bought a 96 explorer 4.0 5spd nd its kind of a project, i know for a fact it needs a new clutch, but when i start it with the car in 1st gear, clutch pedal down nd i rev the engine you can feel the clutch pedal push back at you as the enginr revs. Thought this was weird just wondering what that could be a sign of. Thanks again, Alex

clutch not releasing fully, weak slave cylinder, broken pressure plate fingers, oily deposits on clutch plate, just to name a few. Does it grind at all when shifting into gear? Any noises?

Any noise without shift attempts? while idling clutch released? depress clutch while idling any noise? don't touch the shifter while checking for any noises. Is the clutch slipping? I only ask cause you said It needs a new clutch.
