My 94 Wrangler ( ~150,000 miles) recently got hard to shift. In particular, I sometimes have to turn the engine off to get into reverse. So I checked around, and I found that the fluid level in the master clutch cylinder was VERY low. But the problem did not go away after I added fluid, so I assume that some air must have gotten in.
But I can't figure out how to bleed it. (I have two shop manuals -- a Haynes & a Chiltons, I think -- and my system doesn't look like any of the pictures in either book.)
The slave cylinder is a horizontal cylinder, on the left side of the clutch housing, about 1 inch diameter x 4 inches long. It has a little teat on the bottom, about 1/2 inch diameter x 1/2 inch long with a setscrew on the bottom end, and a little hole on the *side* of the teat
-- right where it joins the main cylinder.
When I loosen the setscrew and press the clutch pedal, fluid comes out of the side-hole, but there is no way you could attach a bleeder hose to the teat without blocking the little hole.
The shop manuals talk about the 94 wranglers having a "sealed" clutch system, but it doesn't make any sense to me that there is provision for adding fluid, but no provision for bleeding.
Thanks in Advance!! john w.
