MancheKid86 Posted October 26, 2009 Author Share Posted October 26, 2009 got rained out again today, going to hopefully drop my transmission tomorow, i found a clutch cover on ebay for $6.23 CAD thats all i need, i bent the fingers on my old new clutch clover, so I'm stuck with either buying a full kit and picking it up the same day, witch will cost about $300 or pay $39 shipping, and another $39 so i can get it over the border, and have to wait a couple days for it to get here, what to do, haha well I'm dropping my trans tomorrow , and the people that are funding my clutch will choose a verdict for me, will update withs pics when i work on my manche again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MancheKid86 Posted October 28, 2009 Author Share Posted October 28, 2009 yes finally got a day where i could drop my transmission, i have finally found the problem with my clutch!!!! look at pics and ill explain as i go :D everything disconected transmission out here's my new old clutch, clutch is off clutch is out and finally after almost a year i done some logical thinking, what i should have done before i put it in! and what i did was measure it! its seemed a bit off, it's 9 1/2 inches wide took my old clutch plate i saved, thank god, and placed it onto the clutch cover, my clutch i ordered was to big, so it wasn't that it was damaged when it was installed, it just wasn't the right clutch at all, now i know what the problem is, will get new clutch set tomorow, or the next day. any body need a new clutch?

MancheKid86 Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 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 !!!!!!!!

MancheKid86 Posted December 29, 2009 Author Share Posted December 29, 2009 well upon working on the truck some more, i have tried bleeding the clutchyesterday and there is air still getting in, so we checked the seals on my slave cyl and they are good, I'm thinking it has to be the last bit of old flex line, i am going to try to install a double ended male connector to connect the single piece new line to the slave cyl, and if that doesnt work I'm going to have to replace my replacement slave cyl xP will update with pics soon, i have finally found a good name for my project, the never ending story xP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MancheKid86 Posted March 2, 2010 Author Share Posted March 2, 2010 update! well a little one, but its still an update non the less, i went to the local lordco to get my clutches line, they didnt have a double flared line!! or so the guy said, so i went to my hardware store and picked up some paint and primer instead, repainted my tailgate and got rid of the rust :D not the greatest job, but it looks better than before, I'm thinking painting isnt my thing :D leave that for the professionals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MancheKid86 Posted March 6, 2010 Author Share Posted March 6, 2010 so i ended up replacing the last bit of the old line, was pretty stoked, i had preasure, but still kept on getting air bubbles, so i got on my creeper (it belongs in a museum) and i found this (don't mind the 2x4, it was just to see if i could shorten the spacers for the slave cyl) this is a clutch line from my newer clutch master cyl, there is a distinct crack in it, could that make the air leak? that line was from an internal slave cyl setup ill post this in tech as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MancheKid86 Posted April 27, 2010 Author Share Posted April 27, 2010 fixed my clutch line, no more leak, took it into auto shop last week and have been tinkering, put some dot 4 fluid in it, bled it by pulling out the piston and filling up the slave cyl, then pushing the master cyl in all the way, till all the bubbles came out of the line and till it over flowed, then i took the piston with the seal and shoved er back in, tested to see if there was air bubbles, and none :) musta been the 0-ring i had in my slave cyl (don't ask, some one suggested it) threw it on the vice, and pushed the rod on the slave cyl, ROCK SOLID!!!! I'm GOING TO INSTALL IT TOMOROW, WHEN THERES NO MORE RAIN, AND DRIVE HER OFF THE JACK STANDS!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High2by Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 I hope it works. That was a pain in the rear just for me to read about it. Way to stay with though and figure it out. :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MancheKid86 Posted May 29, 2010 Author Share Posted May 29, 2010 well, its still on the jacks, next payday I'm going to order more clutch parts in, here's a pic for what I'm doing on the side tho, its not on still need to remove the fenders and do a bit of modding but ittl look like this in the end, before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MancheKid86 Posted May 30, 2010 Author Share Posted May 30, 2010 so ive been trying to work on the truck latley, but too much rain, so i am half done my fender modification, but right now, ive replaced the wiring harness, cleaned all of the pins in it, polished the grill, replaced all the lights, and drilled out new holes for where the other ones rusted off, i decided to reuse the 4 bolts that held the original faceplate on, takes a few minuites of cursing while getting your arms sliced open by a fender, trying to unscrew rusted bolts, top ones you drill a hole a bit lower, flip them around and screw them right back in, lower ones, I'm using quick steel to fill the hole in the fender, and then ill stick a bolt in that, once i get everything finished ill post the pics.

MancheKid86 Posted June 1, 2010 Author Share Posted June 1, 2010 face lift done :) driversside fender was sooooo much easier then the passenger side, i relocated the bolts, drilled new holes for it to all go back together, and i just ordered a whole new clutch line from clutch city online, so first i peeled back the top of the fender removing the bolts, drilling a hole for the new mount Bolt screwed in realized i drilled a random hole, way off so i had to redo it final product on the fenders polishing the grill drilling more new holes and all finished :) so what do you guys think?

MancheKid86 Posted June 1, 2010 Author Share Posted June 1, 2010 i just got my ups tracking number, its going to take 8 days to get my clutch parts o_O i need something to pass my time? possibly a tub of roll on bed liner for the interior? what liner is recommended, i seen a herculiner kit for $75 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unglar Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Nice work on the grill! :thumbsup: Why did you have to move the bolt? Is that because you went from a '86 grill to a '87-92 grill? BTW, I just read your whole thread for the 1st time, wow, way to stick with it on that clutch issue. Oh yeah, what ever happened with the XJ donor?

MancheKid86 Posted June 1, 2010 Author Share Posted June 1, 2010 yea i went from 86 to 87+ so the mounts are a bit diffrent, the donor vehicle, was at a scrap yard, guy wanted ridiculous amount for it, so i just took the grill and thats it :P and its crushed now, they crushed it on saturday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
