Title: 95 yj 2.5l standard clutch issue.
Post by: calggord on February 05, 2006, 03:48:03 PM: Im not sure what the exact problem is but heres whats happening. Lately my clutch peddle has been losing its ability to disengauge the clutch. When I put the peddle to the floor the vehicle still wants to pull ahead just slightly. Is this the clutch wearing out or is the master cylinder or slave cylinder had its day. Any suggestions?

I had a problem last year where I am loosing pedal pressure so I replaced the whole system (it comes as a complete unit from Chrysler).

The pedal is easy enough to push to the floor that really hasnt changed at all since this problem occurred I think. I phoned auto value and they told me that I could buy both parts separately (master & slave cylinders). But in my haynes manual it says that it comes as a complete unit as you stated. I dont think auto value knows what they are talking about. What does the complete unit from the dealer cost anyway?

When you buy it as a compelte unit it is pre-bled, comes filled with fluid, and is usuall not in need of bleeding when you get it, just a simple bolt on.
