If you are ever in Georgia - the beer is on me. Thank you for your help.

Celebrating a new master cylinder fixing my clutch... Happy - Happy - Happy

I bought one of these at WalMart for $32. It has a built in lock and you can add additional pad locks if needed. I mounted it in the bed w/ two stainless bolts an lock nuts - not tighten all the way down. I cut a channel in the bottom of the box for each bolt to ride in so I can slide it up tight against the bed or slide it out for full access. The dimensions are around 32" long x 13" wide x 15" deep. I haul a mountain bike so I couldn't fit a regular tool box in the bed. This allows for easy removal if needed.

Well I checked the floor boards and really couldn't find much evidence of a leak. I figured maybe things had dried up since I only drive the MJ once or twice a week. So, I pumped the clutch good checked again around the rubber boot inside the cab right before it connects to the pedal. It was moist but, not like it had a noticeable leak. I will just replace the master cylinder and go form there. The good news is I went ahead and replaced my wheels - I am very happy. Before: After: Now I just need to be able to ride......

Probably the master cylinder. I changed a fuse last week and noticed it was a little grimy. I will verify tonight. Thanks again for the help - you guys are awesome!

It is a 88 Pioneer and I am not sure which tranny I have - probably the less desirable one. I will check the locations mentioned for leaks. I haven't seen anything on the driveway and its a new a driveway so I would have noticed. I will check the floor boards tonight. The fluid was a little low but filling it did not help. This sucks... I have new wheels and tires from a rubicon, just got the adapters and I want to cruise... Thanks, Gentlemen.

My clutch has gone soft and barely engages, it has to be pushed all the way to the floor to engage. Is there a way to determine whether the Master or the Slave clutch cylinder is bad or could there be another culprit to consider? Its 88 Pioneer, 5 spd w/ 4.0 not sure w/ tranny I have. Thanks,

I purchased a new front set from JC Whitney.

I tried to order a new set of hold down brackets. They were on back-order for 3 months and I gave up. Hoping to find another option for the brackets...... Wish I could weld? If you find or know of a source for new brackets - I am interested. I guess I have more money than skill and not very much of either. Verified "Tinkerer" , preferably in the shade. :cheers:

This thread makes me sad. To witness the bashing of anything Jeep, just ain't right.
