I have a 87 2 door 5 speed jeep cherokee and for a few weeks now whenever i go to start my jeep the clutch pedal is floppy so i have to fill up the fluid..i followed the line from the res and everything looks fine but ive noticed a puddle under the jeep where its leaking. when i got under and looked i saw where it was dripping off of the trans. any idea as to where the leak could be? or if this is common and a easy fix? hate not being able to drive the jeep. Its driveable but whenever i need to shift gears i need to pump the clutch and im afraid im going to mess something up if i keep driving it like that.

 

The slave cylinder is leaking. You need to figure out if it is the internal slave/throw out bearing, or the external slave cylinder. If you have the external cylinder it will be an easy repair, if you have the slave/throw out bearing system you have to pull the transmission out in order to replace it.

 

great.. i hope its the external! thanks for the quick reply!
