Hey guys, been a while. Jeeps been parked for about a year since my last post. (PICS COMING SOON)

Started the old beast up to move it around the yard and heard a grinding(ish) noise. When clutch is fully pressed in, no noise, if i let it out the littleest bit I get lots of noise. I bled the master as best i could with no change. I got under and pressed it in, got up drained out and topped off with fresh fluid about 5 times, no change to noise or pedal action

When in nuetral with pedal pressed in, I can go into any gear. First and reverse are kind clunky when i get going.

Pedal does not go all the way up, i can lift it an inch of two with my foot.

Lastly when i pulled the cylinder off the trans, i noticed the plunger wasn't pushing out all the way. Could this cause my issues?

So this was my last post. and the jeep was parked since then....
