Hi Guys!

I have a 93 5 speed Cherokee. 2 years ago I had the clutch and the slave cylinder replaced because the clutch wouldn't fully disengage. After having the slave cylinder replaced, the transmission acted normally for about 500 miles. After that right back to not disengaging. I then had the clutch replaced, and the Jeep has shifted fine since. Until last week. It was impossible to put the jeep in gear. When I did get it in gear by starting the jeep in gear, the jeep would still crawl with the clutch fully decompressed. Both of these incidents occured after the jeep sat a while in cold weather. I don't want to shelf out for another new clutch with less then 1000miles on this one. I think there may be a leak some where in the hydraulic system or theres moisture in the lines. When the moisture freezes in the cold, the actuators/lines could be damaged. What do you guys think?

 

what does "sat for a while" mean? if a vehicle sits "for a while" the flywheel surface or pressure plate surface can get rust on them and stick to the clutch disc. If you have it in gear and moving hold the clutch in and give it some serious throttle ( with the clutch still in) and see if it breaks it loose.

 

The first time it " sat for a while" the jeep was not driven for about 5 months and sat outside in a cold Wisconsin winter. This time when the jeep "sat for a while" it wasn't as long, I drove it a lot during thanksgiving with no problems. But as a college student I tend to leave my jeep at my parents house, and it sits most of the time besides summer. If the clutch and flywheel are rusted together, would the clutch disengage at all? Because right now, the clutch disengages a little bit. But sometimes will stall with the clutch pedal fully depressed.

 

Air getting into system. Clutch master/slave cylinder assembly defective.
