I have been busy as hell lately but next week i will between my old job and my new job for a couple weeks so i plan on getting to the bottom of this mess. As for heat damage, that clutch line is brand new and it was doing this before and after the new line installed. I believe i will bench bleed the MC to see what happens first. if that doesnt work i think I'm just gonna pick up a good new MC and install that. if none of this works i think I'm gonna just bring the damn this to a trans shop and let them monkey around with it.......

its a hard line for about 2 feet from the MC and about a foot up from the slave line. but in between those 2 points its a braided line encased in a rubber sleeve.

well first off a few things may not have been mentioned or have been misread in my initial post. The entire clutch system is all brand new including the clutch and presure plate and i had the flywheel resurfaced. also the slave isnt external its an internal. plus the clutch line is also new and i know its not burning off the fluid cuz we don't even get as far as running it to test it out in most cases. i did not bench bleed the MC so that will be my first task, and I too am leaning toward a bad MC, but it started this little b*@$£ of a problem before the MC was replaced last spring. but that doesnt mean the old one wasnt going out and i replaced it with a bad one..............I never do see any fluid leaking out of anywhere either. idk if its relivent but about a week ago my cousin was looking at it and pinched off the line to see if the MC would make presure and he said the pedal was rock hard. i greatly appreciate any input at this point

i havent replaced the MC since last spring so i still think it might be that. but it doesnt surprise me that the slave could have the same story. my concern is i don't think its the slave because this is the 3rd slave i have had in the there and its the second new on. i just don't understand why it won't work........... :headpop:

it was 4x4 to begin with thats not a problem. and its not that theres air trapped in the line air somehow keeps getting in to the line. its been bled many times.....

so recently i have been working on my 88 comanche pioneer and still can't seem to figure out why my clutch will not hold preassure. this all started last spring when i had to park it for that exact reason. during the down time i did a full BA10 to AX15 conversion. my set up is as follows; 88MJ body and engine, 98 XJ front and rear axles, 98 ZJ rear disc brakes, aftermarket crossmember and trans mount, AX15 trans and T-case from 92 wrangler. and now for the clutch set-up, replaced master cylinder last spring, new clutch, re-surfaced flywheel, new internal slave, new clutch line, and new brass clutch line fittings. my problem is as i stated before the clutch will not hold pressure for very long a few days at very best, has been bled many times. nothing leaks that i can tell. could this be a bad master cylinder (i know this can happen) or am I missing something critical? please help, i love my truck and don't want it to just sit there.......
