Well as some may know Ive been having some issues with my clutch for some time, Ive replaced all the easy stuff and yup its my clutch slave assembly.

So the task this weekend is to change it out while its some what cool in the man cave.
If anyone is bored and wants to lend a hand or point & make fun of me let me know.
With any luck I can knock this out in a few hours & get it back on the road by Saturday night.

good luck. Ill be at work today but if you need someone to spend time researching how to do it online, let me know

Thanks for the offer Chris!
and 12hr later its all done!
I really like driving a stick.. but hate working on them :)

Well did a test drive to metro Phx & back... did great on the way there and then on the way home it got worse...
Same problem clutch is engaging when the pedal is depressed... so did the drop bleed a total of 3 times ran about 5 reservoirs of fluid thru the system SAME ____ problem... WT...
any other board mechanics have a suggestion? and yes the master is new too... Ugh... I dont get it

Did you replace the slave too?

yeah thats why I was down last weekend, had to drop the whole drive train to get to it (in the bell housing)
I was hoping to take the XJ to Vegas this weekend too (only Jen & I going but Ill be leavin her there for 2 weeks)

It sounds like air is getting into your system. Is the master new or rebuilt. I have seen them suck air but not leak fluid out. If it is under warrenty you might try telling them it is defective and leaks and try another one. Really the only things that could be bad are the master, slave, or the line/fittings, or air trapped somewhere. Sounds like you know what you are doing. Good luck.

The master is brandnew in fact it was still under waranty and I swapped it out 1st, same problem... basicly whats happening it when I 1st start to drive it its good but after it warms up then it starts to give me problems... The only thing I havent really checked is the o-ring from the master to the tube so Ill look at replacing that and see itf thats not the issue.
