Can Spell Comanche

Can Spell Comanche (2/11)

  1. utahmj
    I took the Comanche to a local mechanic. They had no idea what the problem was unless they dropped the tranny, they said they only suspect that the clutch is in backwards. I took it for a drive and was able to speed shift. The clutch has no slipping when I am in gear and hammer on the gas. But when I press in the clutch and rev the engine the clutch slips. This leads me to think that the clutch can’t be in backwards because if it was, it would slip with or without the clutch pressed in when it is in gear. Is this correct? Also if it was I would probably be hearing some sort of weird noises coming from it, as it would be probably rubbing against the inside of the flywheel, I do not hear any weird noises. I also pulled the master cylinder out and compared it to the OEM one. Compressed and decompressed they are pretty much the same size. I am going to try and get it warrantied anyway.

    Hey guys, I hope one of you will still be able to help me on this. I took the Comanche to a local mechanic. They had no idea what the problem was unless they dropped the tranny, they said they only suspect that the clutch is in backwards. I took it for a drive and was able to speed shift. The clutch has no slipping when I am in gear and hammer on the gas. But when I press in the clutch and rev the engine the clutch slips. This leads me to think that the clutch can’t be in backwards because if it was, it would slip with or without the clutch pressed in when it is in gear. Is this correct? Also if that were the case wouldn’t it be making some weird noises as it would probably be rubbing against the inside of the flywheel?

Please let me know what you guys think.

    I just barely got done bleeding the living crap out of the system, I went through about 14 oz of brake fluid. I tried cracking it from the top line a few times, didn’t really help, then I bleed it over and over from the bottom. I get great pressure on the pedal and then it does not even want to try and go in gear. There is no leaks coming from anywhere. I am really stumped and giving up hope on this one. Please let me know any suggestions.

    Yeah I haven't heard too much good about this pug of a tranny lol. Are you saying a new one? The slave I threw in there was listed to fit the Peugeot BA10/5.

    I gotcha, I have not seen any visual leaks yet, but I will double check when I go to bleed it again. I got it from Autozone and I know I got one for the MJ but now that I think about it I don't think I confirmed the drive train. With the split year on 1989 I guess it is possible it could be the one for the Aisen. But even then, right before the Slave Cylinder went I put the new Master Cylinder on and bled it, it worked good and the slave worked enough to take me around the block, but then getting back to my house it started leaking bad which was the Slave Cylinder. In other words, the MC worked a good 5 or 6 times until the SC went which I am assuming was just do to all the pressure from the new MC and bleeding it, causing it to finally blow up the worn out SC.

    Yeah I will give bleeding the snot out of it a try, I compressed the clutch pedal all the way and left the reservoir cap off over night to see If it will force itself out. Also I have been lifting the truck up in the front with a jack for more room underneath the truck when I am bleeding it. Do I need to have the truck level when bleeding? Or does it not matter and it should force itself out no matter what?

    Yes I made sure the Nylon straps were still on the Slave Cylinder keeping it compressed when I installed it. When you say the hoses that attach to the TO that might have popped out, are you referring to the ones that run directly into the Slave Cylinder?

    Between the bell housing and the dustpan/engine I do not see any leaks. This is where it was leaking before I removed the transmission because I assumed it was leaking from the Slave Cylinder. Now with the new one in, I do not see any leaks. Is this what your issue was when you had problems with different pressure when running and not running?
  10. utahmj
    One thing I am really getting stumped about is as to why I am loosing pressure when the truck is running and I press in the clutch to get it in gear. The pressure should not change running or not running correct? When the truck is off it feels great. Then I start it and then after several times of pressing the clutch to get it in gear it goes soft, maybe not all of the pressure goes away but it does goes soft. Then when I turn it off and pump the clutch it builds up the pressure again. I also am not seeing any visual leaks anywhere and the fluid level is the same. One thing to mention is when I am bleeding it the truck is not level, would this trap any air? I figured it would get pushed out either way.

    I apologize I looked at my order and the slave cylinder is actually a Southeast Clutch brand.

    Man that would be rough... as far as I know the one in it was good so I said screw it lol. Is it possible that if the clutch was facing the wrong side it would cause my issue? I want to say that for sure I put it in the correct way because it had an indication on the clutch saying “flywheel side”. I want to say I put it in correctly but at this point I will consider any possibility and this is the first time I have ever done any of this stuff. I just wonder if it was facing the wrong way if it would cause these exact issues?
  13. utahmj
    I see, are you saying that if I were to install the new one incorrectly and not seated correctly it would cause this?
  14. utahmj
    My apologies I thought it was a Dorman brand but I checked my order and it looks like it is actually a Southeast Clutch Brand.
  15. utahmj
    I did not. The clutch kit came with a new one, but the one that was in it seemed to be good, plus I did not have a bearing pulling tool. I decided to keep the one in it and greased it up a little bit.
