Hey, So my 97 is having trouble shifting, and will not shift while on unless I pump the clutch pedal first, what is the problem?
P.S. I am trying to avoid bleeding the master cylinder because the bleeder screw is broken somehow, and I would have to replace it but I don't have the money right now..... and I don't know what I would have to replace in order to get it.

 

Well...

You need to bleed it. How's the bleeder on the slave?

 

All one pc cant bleed...replace it..http://www.jeep4x4center.com/jeep-cl...e-xj/index.htm

 

Can I just replace the clutch release valve? since it is only the bleed valve l that broke? and are they the same thing?
Thanks for the answers?

 

No bleed valves.

 

What do you mean?

 

As far as ive seen theres no bleed valves its one unit master ,line,slave.

 

See pre filled unit...

 

So how do I drain it?

 

My bad, its that one that is broken I believe.

 

Heres how you make it bleedable...http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/s...d.php?t=751391

 

Thanks helped a LOT

 

Just went to check something, turns out its the slave cylinder and it *Had* a bleeder but it is broke off..... any tricks on how to fix?

 

Looks like this ?

 

If it had a bleeder either some one change it or you got the only 97 ever produced with one.
