ok that's what i had in mind of buying... that's what we got last time. oriely in chaska has one in stock for $87.99 so ill head down there tomorrow.... anyone have any tips for points to chain to on the motor for hoisting it out... im tempted to go around the manifold and the alternator bracket but there are metal vacuum hoses in the way of the manifold... we have done it before but don't remember how and our regular chain is missing.. time to regroup tomorrow and get it done.

so now that my jeep is almost ready to run again... the problem was that the stupid cheap u clip type thing (over glorified bent piece of wire) that holds in the pipe for bleeding the system came loose allowing fluid to leak out of the almost disconnected pipe.. aka no parts needed but a good chunk of time.. ow and i had to get a new motor mount as my old one was ripped in ha. as for needing a new slave cylinder we thought it was unnecisary cuz the actual cylinder wasn't damaged and any seals in it are keeping the same fluid in as what may have hit the outside.

well it fired up and the clutch bleed to be nice and ferm.. the idel is a little rougher than before but i think its because some of the vacuum lines where disturbed and need replacement. ( getting some new line for free tomorrow from a friend that works at the auto parts store)

ok 2 more questions and i should be ready to go wheeling.  1 how do you adjust the power steering pump belt.. its non serpentine but none of the bolts have a slotted hole for adjustment... :puzzled:.... 2. this question should apply to all yj's but im not shure...  the transmission is bolted to the "torque arm" which connects to the catalytic converter on passenger side. has that main  trany mount in the middle of it, and has a stud with 2 bushings on the drivers side. my question is how tight together are those bushings soposed to get?.. mine where really loose and i tightened them but they are still loose.

About the belt. I haven't seen a '90 YJ but maybe the alternator can be moved if it on the same belt.  For the torque arm, it is supposed to allow some movement, it's probably fine as you left it.

its a different belt for the alternator... but it turns  out that wasn't the problem... the main problem now is im 12 hours away from leaving and the clutch pedal is doing its loosing pressure trick again like the beginning of this thread... it seams to be time/ heat related.. aka it will be ok for 10 miles or so but then it slowly looses more and more pressure. but then you can turn it off for 5 minutes and the pedal will be as furm as ever.

CRAP! my jeep is doing the same thing. when i push the cluch in and start it, it creeps forward and wont come out of gear unless i shut it down, then take it our of gear and restart it. what is that bearing unit called or where can i get it? do i need it for my 95? or just a slave cylinder? where are the slave cylinder and clutch master cylinder located? thanks!

to fix the slave cylinder you have to get inside the bell housing by either droping the trany or pulling the motor. i would suggest the trany route now that i did it the other way 2 times. the lines are connected the the slave cylinder by 2 over glorified staples. but you can also disconnect the drivers side line just outside of the bell housing where it goes from rubber to metal. good luck these things are annoying as hell...


i think i finally fixed my dieing as i drive pedal by bleeding the system when it was hot and dieing.

i dont htink mine is liek that. on my 95 there are no lines running to the transmission other than one that runs to a black cylendrical thing that has a metal rod comming out or the end of it, and then i push the clutch, the rod extends and disengages the clutch.

'94+ is lucky with the external clutch slave, good conversion for earlier jeeps if you ever have the tranny out.

wait, so how does my 86 have an external slave? There was a code somewhere on the jeep that made me think it might have had a t5 at some point.... but now it's an ax-5...

Still, I'm having the same random loss of pressure thing, when I get the an un-broken engine I'll get a new slave cylinder too...
