86 Cherokee 2.5L EFI 2WD clutch question
Hi
After several years of no problems with the clutch fluid level it suddenly
went dry! Now the clutch will not work. I had checked the level on Friday
and it was fine. On Saturday after driving for 2 hours the clutch pedal
suddenly felt funny and a few minutes later I was not able to operate the
clutch.
Any ideas?
thanks
Allan

Hi Allan,
If you do not smell a weird smell of brake fluid and see the wet
stain coming from where it's push rod goes through the firewall, then
it's leaking from the slave which is a part of the throw out bearing and
the transmission will have to come out. You may thank the french for
this design:

Re: 86 Cherokee 2.5L EFI 2WD clutch question
Or perhaps your clutch line developed a leak between the Master and
Client. Mine was seriously corroded when I changed my master and client.
It actually bent and broke while replacing it. Having just dealt with 2
different vehicles each have brake lines blow in the last two months I'm
a little sensitive to the condition of the steel lines under my cars.
All new lines for me once I see some corrosion.
I paid $85 for the clutch Line (Steel line and rubber hose combo -single
unit) along with $120 for a Timken release bearing.
Cheers!
