The clutch master/slave was LUK......at least that what I thought I bought. I'll have to check to see if it says LUK anywhere on it.

Anybody had this happen to them?

Yeah, because of your 6-speed's granny gear. Your first gear's ratio is 4 something

The Jeep community, especially this forum has some of the nicest people I have ever met. Especially being from the UK, I can honestly say my TJ wouldn't be in running order if it hadn't been for these guys. Also, damn, NICE LJR. I really hope whoever buys it doesn't screw it up and leaves it as...

Wow, I have 3.07 gears with 31" tires and I HATE the way it drives. How did you manage 3.07 with 33"???

I really don't know what to say. I have been having some clutch issues with my 97 Jeep TJ for which people here suggested that I might need a new master/slave cylinder. (see thread below) Well, I buy one, go for the LUK one too, I install it according to instructions I found on the Extreme...

Yeah, they do. Let me see if I can attach them some other way. https://ibb.co/yYPHcGY https://ibb.co/xfCK3b8 https://ibb.co/Ry07VK6 https://ibb.co/BgFmrSH https://ibb.co/5YZXxG1

Right, so in the end I ended up ordering a new complete pre-bled Master/Slave Cylinder from Rock Auto but before I install it, I thought I'd use an inspection camera to have a look at the throw-out bearing because I remember hearing a squealing sound coming from the bell housing area when the...

Let's hope that in your case the cause is benign and unrelated to what cause mine to fail :)

Yes, similar to that but in my case it didn't last long before the gears would stop engaging. Within 5 minutes the car was undriveable.

Well, I guess I'll start by ordering a new master/slave cylinder and taking it from there. The old one is toast anyway, I tried putting it back and filling it with fluid but it feels spongy as heck and it doesn't work at all, even after bleeding it.

Not running. I'll try lifting the rear axle off the ground to see if that will let me take it out of reverse.

The frame isn't too far gone to require weld-in sections but I know that leaving it like this will leads to its demise.

I have a tendency to over-react so the frame is not rotten to the point of rust holes appearing on the outside but it is heading there. The photo posted above is a great example of what I would want to do. I need a hole like that for access and then the piece would be welded back on.

I know this has been discussed over and over again but we all know that the Jeep's chassis likes to rust from the inside, especially around the rear lower control arms. While trying to deal with an issue I have with the clutch hydraulics I thought I'd feel around inside the chassis and to my...
