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

There was a guy who did a write up and put it on his web site, but
unlike Bill I tend to lose things after a few years so I can't find
the URL. You might be able to dig it out by Googling the newgroups
back about 4-5 years. His writeup was more about doing the whole
transmission swap than than just the clutch. One thing I forgot about
was that I did have to tap the holes for the slave mount - they
weren't tapped deep enough for the slave bolts that replaced the
stupid dust cover/hose holder. I also had to modify the new master
was slightly off on the mounting holes and the bottom ear was about
1/16 too long, but that was because I was putting YJ parts into an MJ.
If you go to the boneyard for parts, look for a 94+ YJ and get the
whole bell housing and throwout assembly while you're at it. Also,
watch the size of the front bearing retainer that the throwout bearing
slides on. On my 88 I had to watch the parts I used closer than if I
had done it one something like yours since there were several minor
glitches because of the old BA 10/5 that it came with.

I just had to replace the external slave last summer - the one I
bought had a clip ring slot that was mis-cast and allowed the snap
ring to back off - and I think it took me under an hour, bleeding and
all.

i have had the clutch problem in both my 89 4 cyc and my 92 I-6... i
learned the hardway to take it to a jeep speacialist because the local
shops are complete dumbasses when it comes to jeeps... had the 89 in
and outa the shop for around 2-3 months.. to find out to finaly fix the
problem they riged it so it would stop leaken long enough to get me
outta the shop and to stop coming back.
