That was totally awesome. To the piont,spoke clearly and pointed out PRO CEDURES I definatly had a small clue of. Very very. Professional. This man is a tech as far as I'm concerned. Good job bro.
I'm about to replace my master cylinder on my 1990 Wrangler yj. Needed this video. One tip though, use the box end of your wrench on the bleed valve, that way it doesn't fall on you when you drop it. Thanks for your info.
My '92 Wrangler (4cyl) does NOT have that bleed valve. The line just runs from the clutch master cylinder to a steel junction more or less like the one shown, and that line goes into an opening in the top of the bell housing - not the side. There's no way to bleed the line other than to, say, crack the hose/line junction. If that's the accepted method, so be it. Suggestion? Tnx.
BIgfootbabah - did you solve this problem? Have the same problem on a '91 XJ. Hard to shift when warmed up. I'm using MT90. Still no help. Since it's worse when hot/warm, makes me think there's air in the system? Stuck.
Hey Dale! Great video! Quick question ... Is there any sort of trick to get the plastic black quick disconnect off the slave cylinder. I have 2 wrenches on it, but it won't budge. Thanks in advance!
thanks for this video , i need a new bleeder valve but i only see ones for brakes on quadratec, and i cant find one on rock auto, any idea where i can find one for my clutch 1993 YJ wrangler.. thanks for any info
Did you ever find the bleeder screw size? I need one too. I bought my clutch from O'Reilly Auto Parts and the screw seems to be a little smaller than a 7mm and a 6mm is too small. So after repeated bleeding the thing is getting very difficult to work with.
Help help. My 1998 wrangles clutch is toobhard to press . gears work well , shifts fine . clutch works good is just too hard to push . is one year old fresh clutch asambly installed. Is this fixeable? I have a knee problem and this is making me sell my jeep.
My clutch has been giving me a headache for months. Replaced slave, master and even the lines. I've isolated and tested everything and it all hold vacuum. If I gravity bleed it then it's good for about a day of driving then magically gets air again and it doesn't leak anywhere. Driving me nuts
I have a 88 YJ and we swapped the clutch and we have been bleed it since we swapped it which is 2 weeks and when we bleed it it works perfectly but then we turn it off and wait a while and the clutch starts to get soft
I'm a newbie jeep owner and have a 90 yj. My clutch pedal seems to have some play in it. Originally thought might be low of fluid, nope. Could it be a loose clutch cable?
I've put about 10K miles on my 6 speed. Anytime I am merging to hwy speed and I'm hardly pushing 3000 rpm I can smell something somewhere is burning. I've been driving stick since the day one and so it was quite obvious to me where the burned smell is coming from . Initially I thought it's just a new clutch and within few short weeks it will surely go away but it never did. The clutch operates exactly the same way as it did when I picked up the Jeep new at the dealer's lot . It's not the easiest clutch to master that goes without saying but I wonder if maybe during the first recall the mechanic didn't clean the bell housing properly and there is still some left over oil that just burns. I would find it strange that dry clutch would keep on producing the burned odour for such a long time. I suspect I would feel some slippage as well by this time but there is none.I took the vehicle back to the dealer to see if they find any issue with it but guess what? They never did and the only person according to the highly trained technician the only person who can smell the clutch is me. I gave up on FCA and now it will be either Centreforce or a trade . How difficult it would be for a mechanic to inspect what condition the clutch is in at present time. I am getting ready for a long road trip and I don't need extra stress on my mind. Thank you.
I am having a problem with going into gear fine then it does not want to go into 2nd gear or sometimes grind into second. Then most of the time it is ok. I changed the gear oil to redline (after watching your video) but after 200 miles it is the same. Seems strange that 2nd gear is the only problem. I can shift from 1st to 3rd ok when I have to. Just the shifter will not go into 2nd, sometimes I can shift to 1st again then slow and it goes in but not always. Any ideas or someone who has solved this? Thanks
I own a 89 wrangler yj I had a similar problem,I got my problem solved by moving the shift knob from side to side on neutral,If the gear knob does not go the same way on either side it means that one of the two spring that you got there is ruin,by replacing the damage one you would be able to get that jeep getting into gear again.. Good luck 🤞
How long does it take to bleed a slave cylinder? I was at it for 2 hours and feel like I got no where. Is there a technique I am doing wrong? I have a Pittsburgh brake bleeder kit to syphon out the air too. Thoughts? Advice?
It shouldn’t take that long. I’d guess air is getting in somewhere. Double check your connections and how you have bleeder set up. I even plastered grease all over the bleeder fitting to make sure air wasn’t sucking in.
@@JeepSolid I did some more research - I’m gonna try this gravity bleeding method. Where you open the valve and let it drip on its own for 10-15 minutes . I may have been pushing the clutch pedal too quick. Your video helped. It got me started. By the way I am fixing a ‘91 Islander 4.0. Keep up the good work on the videos 👍🏻
Brand new clutch pump with a defective bleeder valve... good thing it was a problem on a part you could get to without removing the transmission... Using the bleeder pump is the way to go.

What wrench size did u use?
Where can you get that hydrolic line, I can't find it ?
Good vid and subscribed!! For a minute, I thought those were your socks..... lol

How full does the reservoir under the hood need to be?

Why use brake fluid for clutch bleeding as opposed to something like MT90?

How do I change my rear break line

what is the size of the bleeder screw. I need to replace mine.

@@walkngdude same here bro
@@walkngdude I got a bleed screw repair kit
@@walkngdude did you find what size bleeder screw it is? I got the same ones from Oreilly and it does not fit
I cringed when you poured that brake fluid into the glass bottle while holding it over your fender. Your paint thanks you for the excellent pour! :)
Haha! Yeah. Not normally a good idea. But in this case, it didn’t matter. Entire jeeps paint job is shot. Toast. Trashed.

Got a leak

I’m looking for the bolt size for 1987 YJ washer bottle, ignition module and overflow bottle attachment to fender. Please help.

Try applying pressure before opening bleeder. Low and behold you did this near end of video.
Having issues
Yup... shoulda gone with the external slave swap. So much easier to bleed.

Asked 1991 not that
Very disconcerting
Her leg is going to get tired 😄
Seems backwards
Watch me make video of learning how to do something lol
I don't have to use the clutch when I shift
