Jeep running, now clutch issue

[84Cjseven]

Well the jeep I just bought was sitting for 7 years. Today I got it fired up and it was running surprisingly well. A few new parts and it fired right up. I knew the clutch pedal seemed like it had no pressure but figured it was just the low fluid in the master cylinder. I topped it off, blead it, pumped it 200 or so times and it felt a little more stiff but not what I thought it should be. I replaced the slave cylinder today because it looked pretty crappy, the clutch master cylinder looks like its not to old. I took off the hose that runs from the master cylinder to the slave cylinder as it looked pretty knarly. Now I cant find one anywhere here. Im SOL i guess until I order one. Any ideas why I have no pressure. Even after pumping it up it will quickly lose pressure again. I have not been able to get the clutch to engage at all to move the jeep. Help

On a side note, if I can not find the hose can I get a brake line made at the local KOI store?

Seeing as how you bled it, it most likely (not isen't) is not the master cyl. do you have someone that can push the pedal while you watch the slave to ensure it's traveling? If it's traveling, might be the clutch pressure plate, through out bearing, or clutch fork?

Don't know much about the hydro system myself, as for the hose, Order from Summit, Or one of our sponsors above that would get you a discount

Hope you get it figured out man,

If you are not dripping fluid on the ground but you are bleeding down, I would bet lunch it is a bad master cylinder. Generally if you have the fittings from the ends of a hydraulic hose a shop can replace the hose and Ferrell's.

Good thing you live so far away or I would own you lunch. Master replaced, and all is well. First time driving a jeep. How cool, no top, no doors. I love it. Now Im hooked
