I have a few hardware compatibility questions I need to ask regarding converting my 88 XJ w/AW4 to the AX15 from my 89 XJ.
1. 98 XJ External slave bell housing, clutch release lever, TOB, etc.
2. 89 XJ AX15, shift lever & knob, etc.
3. 89 Clutch master cylinder & master/slave hydraulic line (i.e., double flare),
4. 89 XJ clutch/brake pedal assembly,
5. 94-95, 97-2004 clutch slave cylinder (NAPA NNC 360047),
6. 89 XJ Renix flywheel & crank sensor (Is the 98 XJ AX15 bell housing ok?),
(a) If machining the bell housing is required for Renix sensor I prefer bell housing without this requirement. What model years are best?
7. 89 XJ pilot bearing,
My concern is with the interface between the older hydraulic line (w/double flare) and the plastic slave. NAPA tells me I simply insert a straight tube (i.e., plastic line w/o any flare or other sealing feature) into a hole and use a roll pin to retain the line on the slave.
Effectively, I need a way to interface my metal double flare line to the plastic slave used on the later model year XJs.
Does anyone have a solution for this? I prefer a single line between master and slave to reduce the risk of leaks. If anyone knows of a different clutch master that will work with my 89 pedal assembly please advise. I did not think this required me to upgrade the master and hydraulic line too, but maybe...I do not have a choice???
Additionally, the NAPA replacement master (NNC 350005) features the same fitting behind the reservoir for the master/slave line that my Renix vintage master has. This is an inconsistency in the after market parts offering. Is this a dealer item?
Thanks,
Rick
