any one know where to get a new seal kit for an external slave cyl?

lol u didnt use the site i told u to use? Country : USA Manufacturer: Jeep (USA) Type: TRUCK Model: Hinterantrieb COMANCHE 6`BOX Transmission/transfercase: 5-Speed, Manual Transmission, 2WD Engine 2,5 litres, I-4, central injection Control digit: Has passed check Year: 1988 Plant: Toledo, Ohio Serial number 089849

found a nice donor vehicle at my local auto yard, pulled out the master cyl and clutch line since they didnt disconect from eachother, going to be going back there to give my manche a facelift, and some bucket seats :D only cherokee there, but also 2 other good finds, a grand cherokee and grand wagoneer from the 70's the cherokee even has powerchairs out with the old in with the new ran into a problem tho the bolt pattern from the old one is different than the new one had to think, then i decided to do a little modifying master cyl out of the way put the old gasket counterclockwise (bolt spacing was the same) and then marked and drilled some holes :D checked to see if it would fit i think its about to install it, but before that i need to seal the holes, took some gasket maker and plugged them then mounted the master cyl next thing i had to do, was modify my old clutch pedal, i forgot to grab the pedal after that i bled my slave cyl, had amazing pressure i was so excited, getting ready to install the tranmsision again was draining what was left of the old weatherized gear oil, doing some touch us on the cover, a bit of wd-40 does help man it was grimey gotta love this stuff makes everything slide right into place hmm is this a familiar site to any of you? well i installed my transmission, slid right in, had it all put together again in 15 min, hop in, start the truck up, and guess what, no clutch again !!!!!!!!

heyy about that promise.... :D cmon your killing me, so how did pulling your engine go? i noticed you output shaft and throwout bearing have a bit of rust on them, hopefully you can get rid of it with some sandpaper, is your tranny stick or auto? if it is stick make sure when you get your new clutch from a local auto parts store like princess auto or napa, do not order it online, and compare your old one to you new one since there are 2 different clutches for the manche, and the guys at napa(or lordco) will tell you that a 9 11/16 clutch is a 9 1/8 clutch (lmao i still can't get over that guy) EDITS bah i'm an idiot of course it is stick if it has a throwout bearing, never mind my stick/auto question

so what did you find out? i want to know as well :D

if you want to know what year your truck is, put your 14 digit jeep vin into this jeep vin decoder http://www.jeep.avtograd.ru/vin/vin_en.asp

update for today, replaced the u joints after a while the hammer with the soccet didnt work so we used a vice with this as the final product :P started cleaning out the bell housing new clutch kit :D getting ready for put together installing and testing clutch all going good until no pressure in my slave cyl found a broken flex line will be getting a hold of a replacement line hopefully, lordco says they are discontinued, so we are trying to get a hold of jeep. otherwise we are going to make our own line, which won't be too hard, we have a flex line bender and flaring tool. will update when more progress is made

hey there, i have found that the high pressure hose on my clutch line has cracked/split, does any one have a replacement hose? or spare one lying around? i have a 86 2.5l 4 cyl, with an external slave cyl. here is a picture of it

you can always shorten your vacume hoses a bit, over time the ends of them can get worn down and split, by shortening it a bit it will make them have a newer end to grip/seal on

hmm if you want right now you can go to alberta, drinking age is 18 lol or if you want to make it funner by going to bc, well thats allways good xP and the drinking age is 19 so you will feel more legit :P

kudos to that one :thumbsup: that gives me an idea, hardwood flooring!

could it be one of the two gas tank breather hoses that hookup to a t fitting? i had the same problem but it was stuck on empty, i connected the hose that came off and it worked fine

teflon tape

so how is the engine swap going? any progress?

so jealous :fs1:

what the guys at lordco said was that the clutch they game me (9 11/16) was a 9 1/8 (what idiots) and then they said that my truck is a late 86 built with 87 parts in it, so I'm tihkin i have an inbred comanche, they pulled out an 87 clutch which was 9 1/8 but.... it came with an internal throwout bearing, good thing i had an external, now i need to get my new slave cyl working, only engages a 1/4 inch i need a full inch for my clutch to engage

for the ongest time i have been trying to bleed my slave cyl, and what happens is i get preasure when the clamp is on, take it off theres still preasure and when i put it in the bell housing i loose it all, anyone else have this problem? I'm thinking its my flex line

picked up my new clutch kit turns out i have an inbred comanche, it is a late 86 build that has 87 parts in it my kit came with a hydraulic throwout bearing (internal slave cyl), my transmission has an external slave cyl so they are diffrent, what do i do? i have a throwout bearing for a external, but even with my new clutch it doesnt engage, could this be a problem due to the slave cyl/throwout bearing? how do i properly bleed my slave? do i push the piston all the way in, and step on the clutch, and bleed? if not, how would i do it?

are you going to rotate your spare tire in? (the reason why i ask this is out jeep unlimited has spare tired that was supposed to be rotated in, it wasnt so now we cannot use it as a spare since there is too much difference in the tire wear)

how many litres (or gallons) of tranny fluid does an ax-4 need?

ok thankyou, well i got off the phone with lordco, they gave me the wrong clutch they said it happens alot, so i will be getting my actual clutch tomorow :D

so i have an ax-4 transmission that requires a 9 1/8 4 speed clutch?

my old one is 9 1/8 i belive with the 2 new clutches the bolt on but in diffrent area of my flywheel, had to turn it till it lined up, clutch was too big to engage, in the picture above it shows my old disc on the new 9 11/16 plate

could my transission have actually been a 5 speed? but just with a 4 speed shifter knob? that would explain why the clutch is significantly smaller, or could my transmission be a bolt in job? here is a picture so you can helo\p me id it

i bought one off the net, and another at lordco, one of them is duramax the the problem isnt that they don't bolt on or slide it, the clutch is over 1/2 inch too big, i took my old plate and checked, old plate to small for new plate, and both my new plates are the same size here is a pic to show what i mean
