Okay so i just inherited a jeep from my brother that has some problems. He changed the clutch about a year ago and put in a remanufactured clutch master cylinder. so my problem is that after my jeep starts to get to operating temp it doesn't shift gears easily. but when its off i can smootly. But when im down shifting into first its like the clucth isnt disengaging I really have to shove the shifter into first HARD .also when i try and go in to reverse it grinds, like the plate is still spinning. . i Heard it could be servos but i have no idea. The jeep is a '93 4L high output cherokee. I want to get this thing running so i can have some fun in the mountains. Has anyone had any experience with this problem? Thanks

does the clutch pedal move like normal? also did you replace the slave cylinder as well?

[dajeepz]

Yes the clutch pedal moves like normal. i dont think my brother replace the slave cylinder when he took out the transmision.

Has it been like this since he swapped the clutch? Seen this lots of times and its usually that they didnt put the clutch disc in the right way.

[dajeepz]

yeah its been like that ever sense he swapped it thats why its been sitting for so long. we have no idea what it is. i'll ask him and see if thats it thx

[CUOFFRD]

Yeh, if you look at most clutch disc it will say "Flywheel Side" right on it. Hope you get it sorted out

Okay so I talked more with my brother. He said he might have tightened the flywheel too tight, or the throw out bearing is bad. He claims that there is no slave cylinder on his jeep. Could the yhrowout baerinng cause the problem?

anyone got any ideas???

Yeah mine does that to. You gotta be going real slow(-5 mph) to shift back into first easy. The varying speeds are just too much for the First gear syncro. Reverse will grind if you go right into it from neutral and un-depressed clutch. Go into First first, then reverse and it should slide in. If throwout bearing was going bad, it'd be grinding and anytime the clutch is depressed.

Hey my buddy just bought a 96 with an ax 15 and it does the samething hard to go into first and grinds if you try to go into reverse and chatters when you take off he did have a 3 passengerside motor mount bolts break but had them replaced. And has lots of vibration when driving and advice would be help full thanks

There is a slave cylinder and you need to pull the trans to get at it as its internal

I've seen now..more then once a cheep "jobber" clutch that ..no sh*t MELTS in the jeep
do NOT use cheep after market clutch in the 95/96 I've had great luck (NOT luk hinthint)
with centerforce and act but almost nothing else.

[dajeepz]

i dont think its the clutch since my brother put in a brand new "racing" clutch in it lol. but is there really a slave cylinder in the 93 cherokee.?

[bikedude189]

the 'luk' brand clutches are absolutely great. they are oem for over 60% of cars manufactured, so if you burned one, your fault, not luk's.

as for your brother, no offense but i wouldn't trust his work if he doesn't know how a hydraulic clutch works ("it doesn't have a slave cyl").

my guess is he messed up the slave (you can't re-use them once the tranny has been pulled, so unless it's external or he put in a new one, it's trash) and it needs replacement.
