What parts are required to switch to an external slave cylinder on a '91 XJ with AX15 and 4.0L. I'm putting an NV3550 in there and the slave cylinder is shot. I'd like to do this conversion while the trans is out. Thanks.
I used the NV's original one piece plastic master/slave combo.
The bolt patturn is wider on the late model master, so I drilled 2 new holes on the firewall to bolt it on. (I also had to cut the old mounting studs off, since they were in the way).
With the new patturn, it just bolted on, and worked fine.
I may end up beefing up the firewall where I drilled the new mounting holes, since it's not reinforced like the original clutch mounting studs were.
Thanks for the info. I figure I should be fine if I just purchase the whole setup direct from Mopar with the fluid in it and bled already. It's almost plug and play from what I hear?

If you didn't want to replace the master cylinder you could order the pin to threaded hard line converters from Advanced Adapters and have a line built by a local hydraulic hose shop. I went with a stainless line from a local hose shop when I upgraded my '88 to a late model AX-15 with an external slave cylinder. I didn't trust the plastic lines and I didn't want to redrill my firewall for a different master cylinder. The only issue I see, is that you would want to make sure the old master cylinder moves enough fluid to work the new external slave. Good Luck.
