Default Clutch Problem? - 12-31-2006 , 07:03 PM






I have an 88 wrangler that is exibiting some problems I think may be
related to the clutch. The past few days I drove it I noticed that
occasionally the clutch pedal engages at a point farther than normal
when pressed to shift gears. In this case it is a bit difficult to
shift gears like the clutch is fully disengaged. The other day I was
driving it and went to shift out of second gear. I pressed the pedal
to shift and it went to the floor with no resistance. I could not
shift out of 2nd gear. Luckily I was able to drive home in 2nd without
having to stop. When I got home I was able to press in the clutch and
shift just fine. Any ideas on this? The fluid is topped off and
doesn't appear to be leaking. Also this happens sporadically.

Sounds like a problem I had with the clutch master cylinder - would
come and go then I replaced the master cylinder and no more problems.

By the way, it's possible to shift without the clutch - you just have
to find the right rpm - the shift light is great for helping time this.
