OK, I have searched and searched and searched. I could not find an exact trhead to my problem. Most of what I found was for internal slave cylinders.
I have a 2000 XJ 2wd, 2.5L, AX5, external slave cylinder OEM.
What had happened was the throughout bearing blew up and pedal went to floor. I figured R&R the entire clutch area since it has 127xxx and we bought it at 82xxx. Pedal was stiff and disengaged at upper end of peddle travel.
I just replaced the entire clutch assembly. Throughout bearing, pressure plate, clutch disc, flywheel and pilot bearing.
installed everything back and problem. Half of pedal travel is play and only engages/disengages just above floor about 2"
The only thing odd that happened was when i went to install the slave cyl I missed the cup it mates up with and when i pulled it back out the edge of the slave rod caught the edge of the bellhousing and pulled out the slave rod another inch. Nothing came out I just pushed the rod back in till it stopped and figures all is well.
No fluid anywhere around the entire hydra clutch system. 1 drip of fluid at mating surface of slave to bellhousing but wiped off figure its the excess oil from valve cover.
Any quick ideas?
