1999 Wrangler Clutch
 
I have a 94 Wrangler, 4.0, that is beginning to show some clutch wear.
Everything is still working, but I am gradually getting more & more free
play at the top of the clutch pedal ( and less at the bottom!).
I can't find any pedal adjustment mechanism to bring the pedal up higher -
Is there any way to adjust this, or am do I just need to start thinking
about putting in a new clutch?
Thanks in advance for any advice---

Re: 1999 Wrangler Clutch
 
The clutch linkage is hydraulic and thus is not adjustable. A new clutch is
in your future. The two best replacement clutches for your YJ would be the
OEM (really) and Luk. Though Centerforce clutches are hyped everywhere,
they're not a good replacement clutch for Jeeps since they're designed for
high HP and high RPM applications.

Have you checked the hydraulic fluid level at your clutch master
cylinder's reservoir?

You should at least try bleeding the clutch. Yours should have
the external slave cylinder, brake style bleed screw is about 1"
from the hydraulic line into the cylinder on the driver's side of
the bell housing.
