A few months back I replace the clutch, pressure plate, throwout bearing, slave cylinder etc. in my trasmission. My XJ still needs a ton of work so I haven't been driving it much, however anytime I drove it, the trasmission worked fantastically.
Fast forward to a few nights ago, I lent my car to my brother & HAD to drive my Jeep. I drove the XJ because I had no choice & took it through the car wash to blow some salt off of it to keep it from "curing".
Back when we replaced everything, we drilled a 1" hole into the bell housing to spray some PB Blaster up there because it seemed seized up. I don't think it helped, but, a hole remains in the bell housing because I sort of forgot about it.
So, yesterday morning I went to get into the Jeep, started it & came back 15 minutes later to leave & found the clutch pedal very " limp". When pressed down, you felt zero resistance until an inch from the floor. With the clutch pedal to the floor, it would NOT go into gear. I tried pumping it, but, it didn't help @ all. The clutch master cylinder is still full of fluid.
SO, is it possible moisture got through the bellhousing & froze something, or fouled it otherwise? I'm hoping it's something very simple the new clutch etc has probably 200 miles on it. I'm stumped on this one..
THANKS!!
