Recently helped a buddy install a new clutch master and slave in his 95 YJ. Have a couple questions:

1. The old slave had a bleeder screw. The new slave does not, but has threads for a bleeder screw. We put the bleeder screw in thinking it would bleed like the old one, it doesn't. Is this a self bleeding system???

2. When we got the slave there was a plastic cap and straps holding the slave's push rod in. We went to remove the straps and one broke. According to the so called "instructions" we are suppose to leave the straps on the slave. Does this make sense to anyone??? On the old slave the plastic cap was on the end of the push rod, but there was no straps to be found.

The Jeep does drive now,but according to my buddy the pedal doesn't have the firm feel it use to. However, it operates fine, engages when it should and the same thing with disengaging.

WTF?

Not sure about the bleeder screw, I think most Jeep master slave combos aren't supposed to be bled anyway. Should be replaced as a whole system.

You're right about the plastic cap, it's supposed to be there. The straps will be fine if you broke one. I'm pretty sure they are only there for installation purposes. Meant to be broken the first time you depress the pedal.

That would make sense about the straps. Hopefully I didn't damage anything with the one being broken. I would think as long as you don't step on the clutch pedal before the slave is bolted in you should be fine (which we didn't). So, in theory, we don't need the bleeder screw in there at all? Thanks for the help Grewe.

Just as a follow up, for anyone that searches this or actually cares (hah!). After a good day of driving my buddy reported the clutch has returned to it's original stiffness. I confirmed this last night :smokin:
