I have a 97 XJ sport. For the last few months It has been difficult to shift into first gear after coming to a stop in neutral. If I let the clutch out while in neutral and then depressed it again I wouldn't be able to get it back into gear. Then last week there was once when I pushed the clutch in and it would not disengage at all. I pumped the pedal and it got better. I bled it last night and It seems a little better. Through all of this there hasn't been a noticeable loss of fluid. My guess is that either the slave or master cylinder may be going bad. The clutch doesn't slip at all under normal conditions and when I bled it last night there was a fair amount of pressure when the pedal was depressed. How do you know which one it is? Can they be rebuilt? I may try to change the fluid and re-bleed the system. I have a hand held vacuum pump to bleed it with but do you remove the bleed screw and then replace it quick after bleeding the system?
Thanks for any help.
