Papasjeep is a 93 country with about 230k, 4.0 5speed. The master and slave cylinder were changed by the P.O.. When I got it he told me that periodical the clutch needed "burped". In the last 6 mos. i have had the clutch bleed twice. What happens is it will be fine for a few weeks then after driving for a while it gets harder and harder to shift. when stopped at a light it won. go into 1st, or any other gear. If the car sits for 10 or 15 mins. it shifts fine for a few miles and problem returns. It doesn,t seem to be losing fluid. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

 

I took the cap off the master and pumped clutch about a hundred times, no improvement. Please help!

 

Sounds like you have air in the lines to me..try bleeding it...Tj

sounds like your slave or master could have an internal leak if bleeding it does not help after multiple times
