Wonkey clutch...
Hello again! Been a long time since i posted.
My 4.0l 1990 Jeep is having clutch pedal issues. The clutch was replaced about 5 years back and has less than 6k on it. The pedal is going all the way to the floor and barely allowing me to shift. If it is warmed up for about 15 minutes the problem goes away. Not locating any evidence of a leak (no drips or puddles) and the fluid level in the resevoir is full still. Could there be an air bubble? Should I completely drain the system? Will "burping" or bleeding the line fix this issue?
I searched the threads for a bit and replacing my master/slave cylinders does not seem to be what I need to do, so just wondering what everyone else (with more know how than me) would suggest.
CHEERS!

Not positive, but when the clutch was replaced the slave cylinder was replaced as well...shop charged me 700 bucks to do it all. Hope I don't have the same issue going on again. Last time it wouldn't shift at all...so here is to hoping that a quick bleed will work it out!

Hope so. Last time I had that issue my slave was going out. and then a year later the hose started leaking. if theirs no leaks at all maybe the master is getting weak. I've replaced my master 2 times in 3 years.
