Heat and clutch fade

[Cabz]

I have been noticeing a strange problem lately , whenever it is realy hot outside 92+ and the MJ has been running for a while ( especialy with the A/C goin) the clutch pedal goes down a lot farther than normal before the clutch dissengauges, and as soon as I think about letting the pedal up it wants to start movin,

 

The trans has not started biting gears and there is no creep forward yet ( hasent gotten that bad yet ) but I have never had this problem before on any std trans vehicle I have owned.

 

has anyone else had this issue?

 

the MJ is still runnin the ole pukegoat and the clutch system is not leaking , the MC is a new bendix MC the clutch setup has a few miles left in it as well.

 

once it cools down the whole thing works just fine and normal. :dunno:

 

any ideas?

maybe its the wrong fluid in there? isnt it supposed to be DOT#3 or somethin brake fluid?

 

(doubt you did that but its possible)

nope it's the right fluid :cry: and the master cylinder was replaced about 6 months ago and I did not notice this little issue til today :roll: I was thinking MC but even if I try and pump it up ( kinda like a bad brake MC) it does not help at all.

idk they do seem to be a weak part, mine randomly went completely out one day.

Well it turns out it was the MC , A brand new bendix at that .

the piston did not want to return all the way .

I swapped it out and now shes good as new :D
