replacing clutch
#16
Because you are asking for info on how to get from one point to another,maybe you should of ask,I would like someone tell me how to change my clutch instead of buying a manual.
I could tell you step by step and all the tools you would need,but if you have a manual you can learn alot more from it than just changing a clutch. This forum is about helping folks,the manual idea was my suggestion or a way to help you.
Good luck

a book would help clear up any info you get from here you dont quite understand.....search feature works good too.
its pretty cut and dry...take it out and put it in
you will learn quick that pissy responses to advice wont get you very far around here. i know i did the same thing, but i learned that everyone is trying to help, not steer you somewhere else.

I don't know, I guess I think it's funny now when people ignore your actual question in forums. seems to happens a lot.

here's an example of what i was looking for.. there's lots of good stuff on the internet, and I was hoping to stumble upon more of it..
Anyways, sorry for being short with Mr. Abovetimberline. I'm gonna press on with my Internet search for neat tips and ideas.
Sorry again for stirring the pot.

Here just to help and so you know there is nothing personal here.
Get a good trany jack,makes life much easier.
1. Disconect both driveshafts from the diffs.
2. Disconect all sensors and speedo from trany and xfercase and linkages
3. Drain fluids from both trany and xfercase,as to prevent spillage.
4. Disconect shifter from trany
5. Support trany with jack and remove cross member bolts.
6. Remove starter and hyd lines to slave cylinder.
7. Lower trany an xfercase down enough to get top bolts out.
8. Raise trany back up and remove remaining bellhousing bolts.
9. Patiently and slowly move trany back and down and out of the way
10. unbolt pressure plate and remove it a clutch.
11. remove flywheel and have it resurfaced at the machine shop,there is a good chance you will need an impact for the flywheel bolts.
12. Your exhaust will need to be removed also enough to get trany out.
13. You will find it easier if you seperate the xfer case from the trany,they are very heavy and awkward.
14 reverse the steps.
15 I am sure there is something I have missed,so I suggest you get as good manual to assist you.
16. This is how I go about it and there is other ideas and ways and problems along the way.

Also, consider changing the rear main seal, while you can get to it. If it leaks, it'll ruin your new clutch.
Use loctite on the flywheel bolts to make sure they don't come backing out on you.
Oh yeah, observe the correct torque specs and bolt tightening sequences. :-)

Sounds Complicated
Hey all, I was just wondering. How much would a job like this cost a shop to do? or how many shop hours do you think it would take? Is there a specific brand of aftermarket clutch you all would reccomend? Also would it be a good time to attack those crusty U joints as well while you are taking apart everything? and last but not least, would you need any special clutch alignment tools etc. I'm trying to way the pros and cons to making this a DIY job. Sounds to damn involved for me though hehehee

get a pilot bearing puller before you start. all those tricks about pumping grease in and pushing a dowel or ratchet handle does not work. you'll save grace with a proper puller.
also, grab any springs that you may need also, can't remember how the early trannies are. i assume yours is internal slave.
i never had to remove my exhaust, only my shifter had to come apart from inside the cab and i had to hold it up with a bungie cord.
also, use a proper tranny jack with the tilts. especially if you're doing this alone. and don't neglect to use the safety chain to hold the tranny to the jack. this is important for your safety.
and no, a 12 point won't work on the top 2 bolts. you will need an inverted torx.
good luck.

it seems there are many great videos on youtube, or picture walk-throughs for various cherokee DIY.. but this clutch question is one that renders very little.
I am not currently in the market for a clutch plate replacement but if anyone knows a good walk-though with some images it would be good to toss a link in here as this page get pretty high ranks in google for this subject.
