dragonsfyr Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 OK so we fixed the clutch master problem (and the wiring problem that stemmed from the leak) now the slave is leaking........we have also replaced the radiator (high flow 3 row core open system conversion) and the water pump. Schmucks wants $150 and a week or more wait to special order the clutch slave.......anyplace I can get one cheaper? I don't have time to cruise junk yards (they aren't open when I'm awake anyway). I guess my tech question is: when does the money pit end and I can have my reliable DD????????????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geonovast Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 2.5 or 4.0? If it's a 2.5, you could track down everything you need, including a brand new slave(I paid 47 for one), for an external conversion. If it's a 4.0, that's about what I've seen the internals run. Unfortunately there's no external option for the BA 10/5. If you've swapped in an AX-15, the external conversion would be an option for you.

Pete M Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 If it's internal, I can only recommend the OEM slave. the aftermarket units seem to have a problem with poor quality and premature failure. :( but if you're open to anything, try calling all the local auto parts stores.

dragonsfyr Posted September 8, 2009 Author Share Posted September 8, 2009 I guess I should put that in my sig......I forget these things sometimes :brows: Ghostie has a 4.0L I am unsure of the make or model of the transmission other than it is a 5 speed (obviously manual since I am fixing clutch issues :roll: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonsfyr Posted September 8, 2009 Author Share Posted September 8, 2009 so I need to call the dodge dealer for the part? and hope it isn't higher priced than schucks? as well as deal with thier stinking (poor at times) customer service when dealing with non-garage owners............oooops was that my out loud voice?

Geonovast Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 If it's factory, it'll be a BA 10/5. You should be able to tell from this thread viewtopic.php?f=9&t=11699 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonsfyr Posted September 8, 2009 Author Share Posted September 8, 2009 well I have all the reciepts from all the previous owners (I'm the 4th) and the transmission has never been touched (other than fluid changes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 I've heard horror stories from guys that went through 2 or 3 aftermarket slaves to find one that kept working. :( OEM should last another 150k miles. Too bad the trans probably won't survive that long. Personally, I'd hunt down an External slave AX-15 and swap that in instead of paying for a new internal slave for a Peugeot.

dragonsfyr Posted September 8, 2009 Author Share Posted September 8, 2009 OEM should last another 150k miles. Too bad the trans probably won't survive that long. Especially not the way I drive...........Lets see I finished off the head gasket less than a month after I purchased the truck.....since then it's been clutch master, radiator, water pump, now clutch slave.......I will start looking for the other tranny......

Pete M Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 car-part.com might help. look for a 96 XJ 4.0L 2wd 5spd trans Might turn out to be cheaper if you can get all the parts with it like I did. But it won't likely be faster than simply fixing what ya got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 I'd probably trade all my Jeeps for a Unimog. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
