Hey ... I have a '91 Jeep Cherokee with hydraulic clutch ... slave cylinder is in the middle of the AX15 tranny bell housing with the shaft poking out through the middle of the slave cylinder.
When I push the clutch pedal all the way to the floor, the clutch won't fully disengage.
I've bled the clutch thoroughly ... it's bled ... no air in the system at all. And it's not leaking at all either. Clutch fluid reservoir is completely full after being untouched for more than a year.
Here's some more information:
- When it's cold, it seems to disengage better. After it heats up, it disengages less.
- I'm sure the clutch isn't fully disengaged, because when I put it in gear, the jeep sometimes jumps forward a little (barely noticeable) -- and that's with the clutch pedal on the floor.
- I put in a new clutch and slave cylinder last year when I put in a new motor. The problem started about 4 months after installation.
- At the time of clutch replacement, I took the flywheel in to have it refaced. Is it possible they took too much off the flywheel? Maybe it will be necessary to put shims underneath the base of the slave cylinder?
- Is it possible to adjust the clutch? Perhaps a connecting rod between the pedal and the clutch master cylinder could be lengthened?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!!
