Cherokee clutch problem

My 96 Jeep Cherokee (6, 5 speed) has a problem. The clutch has been releasing closer to the floor and some other car folks agreed with my belief that it is a hydraulic problem



The problem is getting worse and I'm going to have to do something about



it sooner rather than later. What I'm planning on doing is replacing the clutch master and slave cylinders. Have any of you worked on one of



these things, and are there any nasty surprises I should look for? Jeep



didn't do something stupid like put the slave cylinder inside the bellhousing did they? I DON'T want to farm this out but this is my daily driver and I can't have it down for any length of time.



Thanks!

This is a pretty easy job. No need for any bleeding or anything. You just buy the hydraulic system from Jeep and it comes with the slave all in a unit that is self contained. Take the old off and put the new on. I just did this a few months ago on my 96 XJ.

Good heavens Bill, have you been drinking. We are talking '96 XJ here as stated in the guys first sentence.

Hi Matt, Oops, looks like another senior moment. Looks like I should quote before I start to write, and find my graphics, and of course proof read, something I've never taken the time to do. To answer your question, judging by their prices the switch from internal to external slaves seems to be '94 Cherokee sixes:
