Re: 93 jeep cherokee clutch soft
i've been through three masters and three slaves (all different
occasions) in the four years I've had my YJ. aftermarket parts just
don't hold up like the OEMs. at one point, my local mechanic
installed a plastic slave and within a month it had developed a
horrible clutch chatter. at another point, I had hydraulic fluid
leaking down the clutch pedal and onto my floormat.
If you have a 4.0, you should have the AX-15, which, if I recall
correctly, has an external slave cylinder. check that.
the few weeks before my slave cylinder completely bit the dust were
hell. I had to bleed the line every day in the parking lot before I
left school just to get home. by the end, i was taking the backroads
in 1st gear because I couldn't get the clutch to disengage more than
once after i bled the line.

Re: 93 jeep cherokee clutch soft
Heh, my YJ is going on 13 and still has the original clutch hydraulics.
Knock, knock. The internal slave cylinder is pre-1994 as far as I know.
Anything 1994 and later will have the external design. This applies to both
the 4 and 6 cylinder engines. If you still have the internal design,
Advance Adapters says that cleanliness is essential when servicing this
unit. Steam cleaning the inside of the bell housing would be appropriate.
It may be possible to retrofit the later external slave bell housing too.

Re: 93 jeep cherokee clutch soft
I've replaced my master and slave once each in the five years I've had
my '93.
Thank the lord, too, the internal slave is a PITA. Actually, just spent
pretty much all day Sunday replacing the clutch in the '89. Rusty bolts
and 20* temperatures make for a fun day.
As Earle said, the external slave retrofit has been done. I've seen a
write-up or two, I just don't remember where.
