First things first I’d like to acknowledge how helpful this forum has been to me with over dozens of questions someone has already asked and answered. I figured it was time I finally join in on the fun. Many thanks to all who make this site the way it is.
Now the nitty gritty. I have an ‘02 sport with a 4.0L and I believe the NV3550 5 speed manual. Last month without warning my clutch slave cylinder went bad. I was able to drive an hour and half home by using the starter motor then floating the gears. I ordered a whole assembly from autozone and was quite impressed with the metal vs stock plastic construction. Replaced everything within 30 minutes. Drove perfectly over 1k miles since with no issue.
Just over the last few days I’ve noticed that when I depress the clutch pedal there’s a noticeable click sound and feeling as if it’s being interrupted. This only happens about 50% of the time. Well I made it home from work today safely but knew something felt off, so I played around with the pedal. I realized that I have the same issue I had before, that the slave cylinder (so I believe) is bad since when I have the jeep running, depress the clutch, and try to put it into gear it won’t engage.
Please help me out I’m confused and downright frustrated thinking I had solved the problem. Maybe it’s a different problem, maybe I’m not doing something properly, maybe it was just a faulty part. I’d like to try and remove the slave cylinder from the line and play around with it if possible and I would also like some guidance in how to do this properly. Looks like I have to work a pin out of a hole to remove it or I just simply disconnect the line.
Any help is greatly appreciated here and I apologize in advance if this question has been answered before but I looked around for a bit and found nothing. Pics are of the slave cylinder after I removed it to have a look at what was going on.
