Sorry to make my 1st post so long, I just hope someone has an idea on this issue.....
86 Jeep Cherokee 4wd
2.5 4 banger
ax5 5spd trans.
A while back my buddy started having trouble getting it to go in gear, instead of taking it to my dad who is ASE certified in every category & owns his own shop, he decides to take it to a shady mechanic to try to save money.
The guy replaced the clutch, pressure plate, throwout bearing, & master cylinder, he was supposed to have changed the slave cylinder. but it turns out he didn't & said he did. VERY LONG story short, my buddy drove it for a day or so but it was still hard to get in gear. He took it back to the guy who supposedly ended up doing something to it, we went to pick it up & the pedal was stuck to the floor, he FINALLY brought it to my dad.
Dad started with replacing the slave cylinder & bleeding the system relentlessly with no success.
Dad tore it all back down & replaced the clutch fork (it had been installed backwards by discount mechanic & ended up getting bent), throwout bearing (wrong one installed before by discount mechanic), slave cylinder, master cylinder, the front shaft that the clutch fork slides on (it was grooved badly from the wrong throwout bearing), & the line from the master cylinder to the slave cylinder ( it had a pin hole & was leaking). He even made sure the clutch disc wasn't installed backwards.............
EVERYTHING has been replaced & we have bled it until we can't bleed it anymore, it has a decent pedal but it still will not release...........ANYBODY HAVE ANY IDEAS? Dad is driving himself insane & losing buckets of money on this job. Maybe he just needs a fresh mind? ANY HELP WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!
