jpfrogger Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Ok, so I replaced the Peugeot 2WD trans with a 97 TJ AX15 trans on my 1989 MJ 4.0L and now I need to connect the two hydraulic systems together. The master cylinder from the TJ has a different bolt pattern and the old line from the original setup won't connect to the TJ slave, so what's the best/cheapest/easiest alternative to get this up and going? Is there a slave cylinder available that will bolt to the original line and bolt to the bellhousing? Or do I buy the complete Master cylinder/hose/slave for a 1994 model XJ to work with the external clutch bellhousing and if so will it bolt up to my firewall and clutch pedal? Anyone out there have a good solution? Thanks in advance, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 I joined the 2 hoses together using a 1/4"-to-5/16" adapter compression fitting from the hardware store. This is not the best way and there is always the chance that the pressure inside can pop it off if you don't tighten it enough,. but I've had it like this for several years now and haven't had a lick of trouble.

jpfrogger Posted July 23, 2007 Author Share Posted July 23, 2007 How did you bleed the slave cylinder? It doesn't appear to have a bleed nipple on it. Thanks, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87manche Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 it does, you've got to get a bleeder for it instead of the plug that's there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpfrogger Posted July 23, 2007 Author Share Posted July 23, 2007 OK, I guess I didn't see a plug. I think I like your solution as it doesn't require me to buy anything but a cheap brass coupling. Thanks alot for the info and the pic! Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Both of my external slaves had a tiny screw in them that takes an allen wrench. By partially unscrewing the screw you can bleed out the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpfrogger Posted July 26, 2007 Author Share Posted July 26, 2007 I did it just like you showed and it seems to work good! Thanks again for the tip. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
