I've recently experienced similar issues with my '91 mj (2.5L) It started with it acting like it was running out of gas then smooth out (which it would do for about 2 minutes randomly) about 5 minutes after i got on the highway on my way to work in the morning, then about 2 weeks ago it would only start and run for about 5 seconds and crap out like it runs out of gas. I've replaced the fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel pressure regulator and map sensor, still nothing... I'm thinking its the ignition module too.. Anyone know where it would be located on my truck? I can't seem to find where it is.

It isn't leaking because I haven't added any fluid to the clutch system since I replaced the clutch master cylinder. I have plenty of pressure in the system but no response from the clutch. I tested it by placing my hand on the master cylinder while someone else pushed in on the clutch. My hand was pushed out and sucked back in when we did it. I know I need to at least pull the tranny to find the problem. The main problem I have now is the fact I need it running in a week so it won't get towed and so I can get back to work.

Ok guys, I'm in a bit of a pinch. If anyone has a used slave cylinder and/or a little time with the tools to do it, could anyone give me a hand with this? I have no budjet or transportation so I wouldn't be able to pay anything upfront. I really need the truck to find some work. I would greatly appreciate anything towards this project. I would even do all the work if the tools were loaned or brought out while I did the work. I live in the Indianapolis, IN area.

Thanks for the input guys. It getting hung up on that bearing does sound about right. The exhaust mount on the crossmember fell off a while back so it isn't hung up on that. Even if it were i would be able to swing it out enough to get the tranny swung back enough to look at the clutch. I'm not trying to completely drop it and was kinda hoping to be able to set the tranny on the crossmember while I was messing with the other stuff. I'm trying this because my clutch froze up then freed up to the point it isn't working. There's no feedback pressure on the clutch pedal with or without it running and won't go into any gear while running. It isn't using fluid and has plenty of pressure at the clutch master cylinder. I just wanted to peek inside and see if I can find what happened. Worked fine until it froze up.

Driveshaft is removed, shifter is removed from the top of the tranny. I got the tranny completely free of the crossmember. I do have a Hayne's manual... Which wasn't much help for me. I don't have nearly all the tools they tell you to use. It just seems like something is jamming up that won't let the output shaft slide free.

Can anyone tell me what to look for when removing the transmission from my truck without pulling the engine? I have few tools and have never done anything like this. I'm having major pains left and right trying to get it out. I can't lower the rear of the tranny because I can't get all the crossmember bolts/nuts free. I did get the tranny bolts loose from the crossmember and the bolts out of the engine. A friend and I pried at it from top and bottom for an hour and only got it a half inch from the engine. I have the rear of the tranny lifted just enough to clear the mount from the crossmember... Plugs/wires are clear of the tranny and I'm only wanting to move it enough to get at the clutch (also has unknown problems)... What did I miss? :headpop: If anyone can, please tell me how to remove the tranny from the engine without a hoist or air tools, what to look for, etc. etc.... Thanks. 1991 4 cyl. 5 spd. I'm unsure of the exact model tranny.
