Happy new year everyone,
My 06 TJ with the 4.0 and NSG370 just hit 183k miles. The clutch slave and master cylinder is original and I swear, the past few days the clutch is occasionally harder to push and I feel like the engagement point moves almost to the floor UNTIL I pump the clutch a few times, then it goes back to normal. I considered it maybe could be the TOB but I had the clutch replaced 20k miles ago and a bad throw out bearing doesn't cause the engagement point to shift correct?
Weird part is, the fluid is full, it doesn’t seem to be externally leaking anything, so it might be failing internally? Does this sound like the clutch slave? I figured I got my money’s worth out of it anyways at 183k miles. When do they normally go out on TJs?
Btw, for those that did replace it, which brand did you choose? I am not seeing a lot of good replacement options from reputable brands on RockAuto. I am seeing Dorman (skeptical), SKP (skeptical), and a few others that I've never heard of. Can I get away with just replacing the slave instead of the master and slave as a unit?
