I have an 01 tj. with 4.0 and nv3550.

when i press the clutch and hold it all the way in sometimes it takes a second for the pedal to come back off the floor.

It aslo happens when im parking and have to half clutch it a little bit.

then today i was getting on the free way and went to downshift because of traffic and the clutch did not comback at all it stayed on the floor.

i had to stop shut it off and drive home shifting with out the clutch

could this be I need a new clutch slave? clutch? pressure plate?

I checked to clutch fluid last week when the jeep was off.

couldnt find anything from searching.
thanks

not positive but aren't the master and slave sold as one "kit" for the 3550? i reacall that was the case when i did my 3550 swap but i just hand bled the 3550 slave and hooked it to my YJ master.

don't think they are that expensive and much easier than dropping the t-case/tranny to do a clutch job which i doubt that is the prob. so yeah, i agree with the master/slave being the culprit.

I bought a slave and master cylinder. just debating on which one i should try first. the slave was about 60 and the master cylinder 90. probably gonna install the slave first and see if that works
