Answer
  Make sure the right brake pedal is coming back up all the way, otherwise the equalizer valve will affect the left brake.  If it's OK, then cap off the brake line to the left brake and see if you can get a firm pedal.  If so, then the problem is in the brake piston.  If not, then the master cylinder or equalizer valve is bad.  
 If the detent balls and springs on the shift rails are OK, then possibly the gear that engages with the shift collar is worn
