I just recently bought my first XJ. A 1993 with a 4.0l, AX15 and NP231J transfer case.
My first order of business was to replace that damn leaking internal slave cylinder set up, with a proper external slave set up.
I ordered a clutch kit for a 1996 XJ, tracked down a bellhousing and bearing plate. I've replaced everything successfully, but am having an issue with the clutch hydraulics.
First question, was there ever a clutch hydraulic set up offered with normal fittings. and not these slip fittings?
It looks like the PO had some some upgrades to the clutch hydraulics. There is a woven stainless steel line that ran from the MC to the internal slave. The internal slave input line was flared with a fitting, looked like a DIY job, but definitely done well. SS hydraulic line has a threaded output. The new clutch slave cylinder is one of those slip type fittings... I need an adapter.
Question 2: will these adapters fit the slip fitting on a stock 1996 XJ slave cylinder? https://m.autozone.com/fittings-and...-pcs-3-an-universal-clutch-fitting/542225_0_0
Question 3: is there not supposed to be a bleeder screw on the slave cylinder? How do I bleed the system when I finally figure out the hydraulic line?
Sorry for the basic questions, I am new to these older Cherokees, I have mainly worked on german cars and my wife's JK.
