Quick introduction... My name is Rick, I'm 23, I live in Collegeville / West Chester, PA. I typically go by GhostDakota or PAFirefighter11 on most the boards. I am also a member of BMJA (Blue Mountain Jeep Alliance), and too many forums to list. I have had a YJ now for over 2 years. I currently have 4 vehicles, including a '92 Dodge Dakota, '82 Honda CB750SC Bike, '90 YJ and new to the family.. a '91 XJ. The YJ was real nice at one point, but I pulled the motor, trans, etc., and it went down hill from there. It's got a 4" RE SD lift, 33x12.50x15" Mud Rovers, no sway or track bars, flat fendered, etc., etc. But it's for sale.. the rolling chasis at least. The XJ is stock, minus some sort of grille guard and a 3" Black Diamond AAL and a 44 (not yet installed).

And of the XJ at the Jeep show.. entered the Dirtiest Jeep category:
Okay, so now to my problem :-D ....
On the way to work yesterday my clutch pedal basically lost all resistance and I couldn't shift. After lots of struggling, and eventually getting into 1st gear I drove about 1 1/2 miles at 35-30 MPH in 1st... at 4800 RPM (redline of 5200). Right before I pulled into work it started to overheat and spew coolant out the overflow bottle .. overflow. Anyway, finally got it parked in the lot with the other rigs. Now how do I bleed the clutch on this thing? I didn't lose any clutch fluid, just pressure. I checked the rubber "nipple" thing and it seems to be fine. I couldn't find a bleeder valve like on a brake system anywhere under the truck... is it that fitting I saw on the line? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
