91 XJ clutch slave
My other fixer-upper is a 91 XJ with no options. 4.0, 5 speed 2 wheel
drive. I got it really cheap, but it isn't too bad. On the drive home, the clutch wasn't 100%. I could pull it into neutral but I had to pump the clutch like crazy and watch the tach to get it into the next gear. It wasn't double clutching, it was clutch frenzy. I replaced the master and it didn't fix the problem.So I bought a slave and plan to install it soon. I haven't done this for many years and never on a Cherokee. Is there anything I should know?

Seriously, when you have the slave off, be sure to flush the line and master really well - those slaves put a ton of crap into the fluid which will gum up and/or detstroy your new master and slave in short order. Also, for the cost I would think really hard about replacing the pressure plate and disc while I was in there - pulling the tranny and tc back/out is enough of a PITA to make it a serious consideration. Check the condition of the pilot bearing/bushing. |

Re: 91 XJ clutch slave
Thank you Will
Unfortunately, I used up all the familiar cuss words changing the water pump and clutch master. Could you forward me some new ones for the clutch slave? The slave and release bearing are one unit, but I plan to check the disc and pp at the same time.
