Sounds like a clutch master or slave cylinder. Best bet is to to do both but if $$ are the driving factor, Pick one to try first unless someone can recommend a procedure to determine which one is leaking (bypassing internally).

A wee bit different.. I have a 98 Wrangler but I just had all the hydraulics replaced at a garage. Total with labor and parts was $280, give or take a few bucks.

Thanks for the advise. I'm thinking about doing this myself. Is it a tough job? Any recommendations on a site that shows how to replace these parts?

Thanks, Curt

That's not too bad (280). I was thinking of doing the job myself due to the $ situation. Now I just need to know how to do it.

Thanks for the reply, Curt

Not a tough job at all. 4 or 5 nuts or bolts I think. If it is the one that comes as a set, it just bolts on and away you go. I think they come filled with fluid too.

Now that is what I like to hear. I will have to do it this week. It is getting so I have to drive with no clutch at all. Kind of a pain in the butt at red lights.

Make sure there is no air in the system. this will also cause it tohave to be pumped up. john
