Hey folks,
I've got a 6 Cherokee Sport. 4.0, 5-speed, 4WD...
The problem is that the clutch sometimes won't engage when the pedal is pushed all the way in.
Manuals says to 1st check the fluid level in the master cylendar. It's full.
Other problems cited are fluid on the clutch plate, throw out bearing, bad spring etc. Reasonable things to check but before dropping the tranny???
Also, I've got some questions...
The problem is that it is sometimes hard or impossible to shift. The stick just won't budge. Then I'll do something like turn off the A/C and all of a sudden, it works.
Problem solved? Don't use the AC...
Unfortunately, the problem came back later today with the AC off. I couldn't get the Jeep out of reverse. I was pushing the clutch pedal all the way in and the shifter wouldnt move. Actually, the car was slowly moving backward as if the clutch was barely engaged.
Out of frustration, I turned off the ignition, released the clutch, released the break and the car rolled forward in gear. I then turned on the ignition and the problem was gone...
Any thoughts or ideas?
The thing that gets me is that it is intermittant.
Thanks
Tom
