I have a 1996 Jeep Cherokee sport, 4.0 v-6... I bought it with 151,000 miles on it running great with numerous new basic components to keep up with maintenence. Recently, we believe my clutch has burnt out. My mechanic said to put dot 3 brake fluid in the clutch fluid reservoir near the firewall.. He said once full, pump the clutch and it will begin to work again.. It only began to leak out of the bottom of the car and wouldnt work. He said its clutch time. I have looked at clutch kits and slave cylinders, here they are.

tell me what you think about these? I'm in high school and will be driving this car commuting 24+ miles everyday roundtrip.

since the clutch has gone out, my electrical is being weird. When i put the key in the car to listen to music, it works until my subwoofer kicks in the song and then it all shuts off. sometimes the buzz sounding for an open door wont stop even when the door is tightly shut. the radio completely shut off when this happens and comes back on until the subwoofer kicks in.. also, it will shut off if any door is open, and the windows roll down and up very slow..

any suggestions?

My subwoofer is a box with two 8 inch subs hooked to a pioneer amp.. Subs were $90 new from audio shop with different amp.

car is up to 153,000 miles and has ran like a champ with no problems until this, happened as weather began to get colder.

With the electrical problem. Check under the dash on the driverside. I bet the clutch master has a blown rear seal and it's leaking brake fluid on the fuse box causing a malfunction.

That maybe your electrical and clutch problem all together.

The clutch master is in the pic. There is a line going out the bottom of it. It runs to the clutch slave cyl on the side of the trans. Is it leaking on the ground by the tire. Or is it leaking on the ground more under the driver seat.

cherokeecass

It is leaking onto the ground basically right in the center of the car and about 2 to 3 feet from the front of the car.
