Everything was fine until I blew the motor coming home from the Dusy Trail. I rebuilt the motor, installed new bell housing, clutch assembly etc. I am having issues with the Hydraulic clutch. I have replaced the master and slave 4 times before finally changing the clutch kit again. During the clutch kit change I found that the throw out bearing was not the correct one and the clutch fork had play at the bearing. The problem is - the clutch pedal disengages the clutch 3/4 of the pedal push. Sometimes I have to pump the clutch to get a good release, sometimes when driving and resting my foot on the pedal and tork the engine a bit the clutch pedal will drop 2". It seems the clutch fork does not align with the slave perfect and when the fork moves up or down by an inch the slave has farther to push or vis versa. This discription may not be the best but then again if I understood the issue it would not be a mystery. Do I have the wrong bell housing? how many options are there for a 86 CJ AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l & T-5 ? Do I have the wrong fork? how many options are there? Is my slave or master wrong (diffent push distance) can I have the wrong clutch kit?
When I changed the clutch last night it seems hard to push the pedal now but has the same issue with releasing 3/4 of the way through the pedal push...
Please help... changing the master and slave 4 times, clutch 2 times... and ready to take it all apart again just to look at it.. (not looking forward to it, I should be working to make money to pay for the next upgrade but love working on my Jeep. Cheaper than a shrink... LOL)
