Here's the short version. 2000xj, 4.0l engine with NV 3550. Transmission needed to get fixed, so I dropped it and decided to do the clutch while I was at it. When I was putting the clutch plate back in, I got interrupted and may have put it in backwards. I didn't think about this until I had my transmission bolted fully back in and was reinstalling my T-case. Anyway, at that point, I thought that I might as well take a gamble and finish putting everything back together and see what happened. The second dumb mistake I made was that the Slave Cylinder push rod slipped of the cup that engages the clutch so when I first depressed the clutch the rod popped out and sprayed clutch fluid all over. Cleaned that up, corrected the problem (I thought), and after a 100 pumps of the pedal or so, the clutch seemed to have the appropriate pressure. I've driven about a 100 miles with everything seeming to work fine except for the slipping point of the clutch being pretty close to the floor. Well, tonight the slipping point got so low that the clutch wouldn't fully disengage. I parked the car, then moved it into my garage to see what the problem was and the clutch worked fine again. So, is it possible that I could have driven a 100 miles with the clutch plate on backwards and now it's crapping out? Or, did I screw up slave cylinder when I first installed it? The clutch fluid level appears the same level as always.
