Well that DOES make sense.
But back to asking everyone abbout their trials and tribulations with this mess. What does everyone do?
Surely I can't be the only doofus with a problem like this...?

I don't know about a cable, but conversion to an external slave is a
no-brainer and the parts cost is pretty much a wash if you have to
pull the transmission to get to the old internal slave anyway. Even
my '88 bell housing had all the necessary bosses and holes for the
external slave setup. Things were a little harder on the '88 since
the master on it used a threaded connection for the line but if you
already have the quick connect push-in type you should be good to go.
New style throwout bearing, throwout arm and pivot ball, new external
slave and you're in business.

One thing I did have a problem with about a year after the swap was
that the master started the "internal leak" crap. I pulled it and it
was full of residue from the old system - I hadn't thought to do a
complete flush when I was putting everything back together. Cleaned
the whole thing on the bench and it's held for 5 years now.

Can't say about the XJ, but I got my parts from a 94 YJ and the guy
who got me the parts said that was the changover year for them.

Will, seems like very good advice. I wonder if anyone else has done this mod? I searched and googled and came
