Help...
My son has an 86 XJ with the 2.5 and I believe the Peugot 5 speed tranny. He has replaced the entire clutch assembly (external slave) from the master (twice) line, and slave, plus the clutch, throwout bearing, pilot bearing, clutch disk and pressure plate. Everything is bolted in and the engine starts in or out of gear, but here is the problem....
The clutch will not disengage so that gears may be shifted (we have bled that thing at least 20 times - manually and with a mighty-vac pump), and ALSO when I put the tranny in gear and start the engine the truck won't move (as if it is a bad clutch). It grabs a little, but will not move the truck.
Any suggestions? We are going to pull the tranny out again tomorrow, but we need to know what to look for. This is weird. We both have experience in mechanics (he works for a major firm as a mechanic and I have been ASE certified) but I have never run into anything like this before.
