Can I rebuild it?
I'm new to this forum, found it while searching for info about my clutc
- trying to troubleshoot what's going on with it. I've got a '91 XJ
Clutch doesn't always feel positive, doesn't always disengage for me t
change gears. The problem is very intermittent. I've learned to driv
it by double clutching when necessary. We replaced the clutch slav
cylinder, pressure plate last year. (Yes, it's that internal slav
cylinder) Been working fine until just lately. I'm thinking pressur
is maybe leaking back into the master cylinder.
Will Honea posted on this forum last Mar. that he found a rebuild kit.
Where can I find a clutch master cylinder rebuild kit.
Any point in the right direction will be appreciated

Re: Can I rebuild it?
Not sure about a rebuild kit but those cylinders are easy to find at
pretty much any FLAPS (Friendly Local Auto Parts Store), just be sure to
get one with a good warranty, there is some cheap junk out there.

A local supplier claimed to have the rebuild kit but this was a
supplier who supplied seals and hydraulic parts to the trade shops so
when mine got hosed by debris from a failing slave I just went and
bought one from the above referenced local store. Not really cheap
and watch what you get - I saw at least two different mounting
patterns and a couple of different pushrod lengths not to mention the
style of the connector for the line. Take the old one in and match it
up carefully. I played around after getting the new master by
carefully taking the old one apart and cleaning it well with brake
fluid. It had a wad of sludge that had accumulated and seemed to work
just fine after cleaning that out and re-assembling but I have no idea
how long it would have lasted. A failing slave will gunk up the whole
system in a hurry.
