Hey,
I just got done putting an AX15 in my MJ. The motor is an '89, the transmission I think is from a '92. The clutch kit that O'Reilly's had listed for the '92 did not include the internal slave cylinder so I went with a kit for a '91. I used the '70s CJ pilot bushing. I gravity bleed the slave cylinder, start the truck up.. And nothing. Won't move. The transfer case is in gear. I can run through the gears with the engine running and my foot off the clutch and nothing. Before I installed the transmission, I did play around with it, by turning the input shaft in different gears, and everything seemed kosher so I'm pretty sure something is up with the clutch assembly. The clutch pedal did feel kinda spongy and sticky at the same time. Could something be plugging up and not letting the slave cylinder retract? Could it be catching on something? Defective pressure plate perhaps?
Anyone have any ideas? We're supposed to get a monster snow storm in 2 days and my other vehicle is on bald summer tires so I would kinda like to get this figured out.
