Default Jeep clutch pedal - 01-03-2007 , 03:11 PM






I have a 1995 Jeep Wrangler. The clutch pedal goes all the ways to the
floor with no resistance. I've replaced the master cylinder and the
slave cylinder, it's still the same. I've tried to bleed the slave
cylinder but no fluid seems to be there. Is it the clutch assembly? Can
any one help?

Fortunatly, these systems are pretty simple.
Master cylinder, fluid, line, and slave cylinder. Just
like the brake system. Same concept, same diagnostic
steps.
Did you also replace the line? Usually not a
problem, but sometimes can be.
Why did you replace all those parts to begin with?

Did you bench bleed the MC? If so, was it moving
fluid on the bench? If so, put the bleeder line back
on and have somebody pump the clutch pedal. If fluid
moves, you can pretty much eliminate the MC as the
source of the problem.

Hook the line back up, and pump the pedal a few
times again. If you still don't get fluid in the
slave, disconnect the line at the slave and try again.
If no fluid, replace the line. Gravity alone should
bring fluid through the line.

Why not just bleed the slave? Many times you will get an air bubble and it
takes time to work itself out. I did a Chevy Blazer and it took over 4
hours to get the bubble out. No matter how much bleeding I did, I couldn't
get a pedal. Left it, came back and it bleed perfectly.

If he's not getting any fluid at the slave, then he has an air bubble
somewhere.

Is the pedal physically hooked up to the master? There is a pin on the
pedal that can come loose so the rod falls off.

This is a two person job. You need to depress pedal and hold it, open
bleeder, then close it then release pedal and then repeat cycle until
pedal is restored. Doing it otherwise can be a futile process.

Good point and easy to overlook with a master cylinder change

hey there,
i don't mean to insult you so if I am please forgive me. Many clutch
master cylinders have a deep cup shaped gasket/air displacer under the
lid to the master. By any chance did you take the lid off and leave
the gasket in the master therby filling the gasket with fluid and none
getting into the master?

Many clutches are a pain to bleed......pressure bleeders (bleeder
bongs) are your friend. Easy to rig one up with a with a lawn sprayer
and a spare master cylinder cap and a couple clamps.


The clutch master displaces very little fluid so if you can remove the
hose from the slave and bleed it to the end of the hose and then
reconnect it to the slave it can save you considerable time.
