Jeep Wrangler YJ - Clutch Master Cylinder issue .. well sorta?

[@minotaurbison]

I feel you... I had a clutch cable break on an old chevette in Guntersville AL... I drove to St. Joe TN with no clutch... matching rpms to change gears... that was the day I really learned how to drive a stick lol.

[@bradleyhightower6849]

Glad to see this upload, I just started having issues with my clutch on my 94 yj 2.5 5 speed

[@gregcunliffe645]

Great video not only did you describe the job with great detail it gave me the confidence to do the job myself Thanks looking forward to the next video 📹 😀

[@GEEFAB73]

Good stuff. My 87 YJ starting to have clutch or trans issue not smooth shifting..

[@Michael-mx6ik]

Actually you bring the rpms up really high it'll slide into the next gear .did this the night before and make it home 115 miles

[@BudRinck]

Another great video sometimes my 95yj 2.5 will only crank but if I slam the clutch pedal to the floor it starts is there a safety switch somewhere or something I can do to stop that it happens every so often

[@mrlaw711]

You produce great videos!

[@Poweraddicts]

Thank you very much! Glad you enjoy them!!

[@marinehm]

McGiver! Use you some of that bubble gum rawght there!😂. Excellent video! I actually learned a lot. Now to get my hands dirty!!!

[@Poweraddicts]

I have fun with my vids!! Glad you enjoyed it 🙂

[@anamarie9252]

saw your youtube on the front of your jeep . pretty cool 😂

[@Atrain81]

My YJ will float gears with out clutch. Gotta time the engine to the transmission. All in the driver feeling it. To down shift simply rev engine in neutral and it will slide in gear.

[@Poweraddicts]

You are correct. My Mustang floats gear really easily. My dads TJ floats super easy. My YJ, the syncros are soooo shot!!! It does good to shift correctly using the clutch. Sometimes I got to take off in 2nd, make the Jeep move a little and then down shift quickly into 1st. I've got another transmission for it, just haven't took the time to swap them. I can drive it fine since I'm used to it. Its funny when other people try driving it LOL!

[@tomynoks]

Love your videos!!! You show everything and that's what is needed!! I'm not having the same issues... Mine is not engaging enough or at all sporadically.. Going to bleed first and go from there. WHat year is yours? Mine has a fuel filter type fitting on the slave, not the clip type like yours.

[@melissadupont406]

Thank you. I have opposite problem. Clutch pedal is just hanging after going over speed bump when engaged. Got it in 2nd gear for bump start to get home. I can set clutch pedal where it was and have unsecured way to change gears? How far from pedal you think it may go? I see no problems on line. Its Disconnected inside at firewall, where rubber bell housing attached to firewall down to pedal.

[@terrycarter405]

Thanks so much for all of your videos! They help me so much! Can you do something about not being able to stay or go into 4 hi. It will go into 4 low in the transfer case!

[@yotakev99]

Great video! I've gone through a few of those clutch master cylinders over the past few years, not fun. My Comanche has a nasty rear main leak too so I'm looking forward to that video lol 👍

[@IzzySorace]

How do I get ahold of you ? Replacing clutch master cylinder, and can't get fluid to flow through, maybe bad check valve and can't find one for it, I need help ! lol

[@richardsmith-qy6vl]

Thanks for your video big help

[@Poweraddicts]

You are welcome! Glad I could help.

[@martinw9425]

GREAT VID.!!!!do you know if grinding gears in every speed could be the issue of a bad slave ?????sometimes the shifteris hard to get in first or second but pretty mulch all the time when i change gears i ear that griding noise, but it gets in .....thank you for your vids, it very helpful.

[@Poweraddicts]

Slave or mater cylinder either one could cause that.

[@klodianshote186]

hello can you tell me how to operate my clutch pedal. there is a much greater movement than there in the video ..and there is leakage of alcohol into the cylinder. tell me how to act please ?

[@jgpabster]

I’m having an issue with my 92. When it gets warmed up the clutch gets more and more difficult to shift into gear. On the way home the other day, it was slipping and backfiring. I limped it home and 30 minutes later, it was fine. Any ideas would be much appreciated.

[@BrianChildress2]

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. Thoughts? Advice?

[@Poweraddicts]

It takes me about 10 minutes. You got to watch the master cylinder fluid cup real close so it doesn't run empty. If it gets even about 3/4 empty is can suck air back into the system. Also with using the brake bleeder kits you have to be careful of it sucking air around the bleeder screw. Take the bleeder screw out and put a little grease around the threads to seal any possibility of air coming around the threads. The old school 2 person method is the guaranteed best for clutches.

[@dad3562]

Do you think a bad clutch master cylinder could possibly not retract all the way to release pressure once the pedal is released?

[@Poweraddicts]

I've never seen that happen but I wouldn't say it couldn't happen. Most of the time the master cylinder doesn't work so therefore it doesn't disengage the clutch.

[@justin68434]

Do you know if you can use the same clutch master cylinder for a 1990 2.5 or 4.2 yj? I just replaced my clutch disc, pressure plate and throwout bearing in my 1990 4.2 and bought a replacement clutch master cylinder (and hose) that said it was compatible for 2.5 but it ended up fitting in my 4.2. After a bit tho it started leaking and it’s still hard to go into first and reverse gear. I’m not sure if the part is bad or they’re just not compatible? Appreciate any feedback you could give me 🙏🏽

[@roberthoovan4130]

Will try

[@codydoak1741]

love your vids

[@Poweraddicts]

Thanks!

[@moejr14]

Has the slave cylinder went out yet? People also complain about internal slaves

[@Poweraddicts]

Nope, its doing just fine. I have another transmission that is external slave. I'll swap it one of these days or when I have too.

[@TheMainMan318]

If it starts in gear wouldn't it lurch forward?

[@Poweraddicts]

Yes it would if it was in gear

[@leeburtt5453]

Mine was the valve cover gasket leaking.

[@Poweraddicts]

Luckily thats an easy fix.

[@kingsoulsurfer41]

I have a question for you check I went to reattach my battery and the ground wire smoked but my little lights all work and everything but I can't turn the ignition to turn the Jeep on what do I do

[@Poweraddicts]

Start checking relays, fuses and possible ignition switch under the dash attached to the column

[@kingsoulsurfer41]

@@Poweraddicts is this a hard thing to find underneath the dashboard do you have a video on it

[@tannerlebo9862]

Any way I can contact you? My grandpas having a problem with the clutch where when you press it, it will drop to the floor. He thinks the clutch master cylinder came disconnected with the clutch pedal. Thanks.

[@treeofliberty4407]

Maybe you already got her fixed but my guess would be the slave cylinder. I had a problem once where mine went to the floor at a red light. I hopped out and slid under her with a 11 Mike Mike and took the two bolts out, popped the plunger out, compressed it by hand and through it back together. All this before the light changed green. Or maybe it changed green then back to red then green again. Idk...

[@guillaumebarrette9040]

That reply is pure gold

[@reycardenas8092]

Hey I know a while back you bought a yj with a automatic transmission. Do you still have the transmission. And if so would you like to sell it?

[@Poweraddicts]

That's my toy rig. No parts for sale at this time.

[@scottcorrell2920]

I have a automatic from 94 uk 2.5 for sale

[@davidroberts3489]

The more you do, the more you have to do

[@Poweraddicts]

It happens sometimes!

[@hillbillyfatboyracing5310]

Float it

[@markthompson4885]

easy float the gears easy to do with rpm. easier to go up than down tho.
