I have a 1996 jeep cherokee xj, 5 speed manual, 4.0. I believe my slave cylinder is bad and am wondering how to replace it, I'm thinking its the slave cylinder because one day the clutch just stopped working and I can't get it in any gear.im open to other ideas on what it could be.

 

Slave cylinder is a good place to start, but the pilot bearing (throwout bearing) may be shot.

 

Changed mine last year on my 95 mine is external you basically disconnect the line take out two bolts connect the hose on the new one put two bolts in pretty simple. Have fun.

 

You can get the slave and master as a whole kit prebled from dodge. It saves hassles. I think mine was a little over a $100. Been awhile but well worth it than advance auto ones that kept going bad on me.

 

Oh yea.. You check the fluid in it? Could be empty.
