If it is already in the car, mechanical systems are great, but converting to
a mechanical linkage is tricky, because everything has to line up just
right. I have known staunch supporters of hydraulic, cable, and mechanical
clutch actuating systems, and have come to the conclusion that this is more
a philosophical preference, than anything else. They all wear out, most
will give good service if maintained properly, and some are in fact just
poorly designed, like the hydraulic system in the pre-1994 Wranglers. If
you have an early Wrangler, where the clutch slave has failed, the later
model with the external cylinder is probably the most straightforward
replacement. You will have to get the later style bell housing anyway,
because the early one does not provide mechanical access to the throwout
bearing.

I'm not sure you even need the new bell housing, Earle. When I
swapped mine out ('88 Commanche) the yard I bought the new tranny from
included the bell housing. When I sat the old (BA10/5 1988 vintage)
bell housing next to the 94 bell housing he sent for the external
slave, they were close enough to identical that I couldn't tell the
difference with one minor exception: I had to drill out the mounting
holes for the slave cylinder and rethread them. The old internal
clutch just had a cover plate and uses small screws to hold it in
while the slave mount needed bolts that were about 1mm larger. The 88
bell housing even had the pivot ball for the throwout arm already
installed.

I used the junkyard slave for over 3 years before it went out. The
replacement slave lasted a year before it literally came apart (The
grove for the snap ring that held the cylinder in the mount plate was
bad and allowed the snap ring to work out of the groove). Best mod I
ever made, IMO. 2 bolts and one roll pin to change vs. pulling the
tranny/tc just to change the slave is a big plus!

You are talking about the French transmission. If this guy has the Japanese
transmission, I am not so sure that it is the same.
