Clutch question
All, I need some advice:
I have a '94 YJ with a 4.0 and 5sp transmission. I put a new clutch in
around this time last year, with some advice from this group. The other day
on the way home it decided it didn't want to go any further. I had it towed
home, and was able to get things far enough apart where I can see what
happened (or so I think I know!)
Based on the parts I retrieved from inside the bell housing, it looks like a
retaining clip broke, which allowed the slave cylinder to come apart. The
slave cylinder was in several pieces, but there didn't seem to be much fluid
inside the housing, so I'm hoping most leaked outside...
My questions are then:
Should the clutch be replaced?
How can I tell if the fluid damaged it?
While it is apart, anything else I should consider replacing? I'd hate for
the next "thing" to break once its all back together!
Should I replace the master/slave cylinder or rebuild it?
any one have any experience doing either/which on is better?
Thanks!
Doug

Re: Clutch question
The entire clutch hydraulic assembly, master/slave and line, pre-filled and
pre-bled from the factory, costs about $100 if this helps your decision at
all.

Pre- filled and bled from the factory? How do they do this and still ship
it?

Re: Clutch question
Hi Doug,
What do you mean, "it decided it didn't want to go any further."
You mean the clutch was slipping or it wouldn't disengage, and you
didn't want to chance being stalled at a stop light? Anyway, while you
have it apart replace the disc, and inspect the pressure plate. I
believe the clips you write of are meant to break, they hold the
cylinder together during assembly: http://www.----------.com/YJslave.jpg
God Bless America, ßill O|||||||O

Re: Clutch question
Hi Doug,
What do you mean, "it decided it didn't want to go any further."
You mean the clutch was slipping or it wouldn't disengage, and you
didn't want to chance being stalled at a stop light? Anyway, while you
have it apart replace the disc, and inspect the pressure plate. I
believe the clips you write of are meant to break, they hold the
cylinder together during assembly: http://www.----------.com/YJslave.jpg
