clutch problem

[k2snowboard]

i have a 93 yj and when go to put it in gear it wont go. but after i pump the clutch for a while then all the sudden it will work fine. my question is do you all think that it is the clutch, master cyl, slave cyl. or all three. any help would be wonderfull so i can get it back in running strong. thanks

check the fluid level and then bleed it

Just out of curiousity exactly "how" did you bleed it ?

I think that year model has a hydraulic throwout bearing (instead of a slave cylinder) that typically goes out first. It begins to leak, all your fluid leaks out, clutch doesn't work. You refill the master cylinder, bleed it, it works for a while until the fluid leaks out again. If this sounds like your situation then that might be your problem.

Also, Christina Agulera is skanky, man

It definitely sounds like you have a throwout bearing travel problem. There is a hydraulic problem somewhere.

As mentioned by others youare likely having problems with the internal slave cyl. They are the DEVIL! I went through 3 in a year before I decided to research converting to an external slave set up. Going on three years and no problems.

Simple bolt on swap of existing stock part availible at your local junkyard. I have posted the how to several times here. Search for this topic and my user name and you will find the info that I gleaned from this very site.


Who ever invented the internal slave has earned a special place in hell.
