Title: Hydraulic Clucth leak
Post by: Jeepin on June 07, 2006, 10:00:28 PM

I havent determined where exactly the leak is, but I am wondering if anyone has ran into this problem, and what you found to correct it.  I would imagine it is leaking from the resovoir but not sure yet.

I was leaking fluid in my YJ and it was the slave cylinder inside the tranny...  Just replaced it recently!

It's either ..
the slave leaking .. if internal it will drip out the bottom of the bellhousing.
or the master is leaking .. mostly goes back into the cab and runs under the carpet
or you could have a damaged line.

I would suspect the slave .. on a 91 it's way overdue ..
If it is, and it's an internal type, buy a complete clutch kit and replace the lot . .and don't forget to have the flywheel machined while it's apart.
