jtdesigns Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 I have a 89 4.0 5spd 2wd. Did the 89's have a clutch cancel start? Just making sure, cause I can crank her without clutch... I don't think I should be able to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 yup... both xj's in my yard, and IIRC lil pong none of them had a clutch cancel jesus, that was fast!! OK so the switch on the clutch is for cruse? There's one for cruise (if you have cruise), and one for brake lights. The clutch starter interlock wasn't used when the MJ was in production. It showed up during the latter years of the XJ but I don't recall which year. All of which reminds me, I need to bypass that in my 2000 XJ. I have had to drive the '88 XJ home from over 100 miles away without any clutch when the slave cylinder went south. I don't like doing it, but it's better to be able to when needed than to be sidelined by a stupid interlock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 For a while I was moving my 90 around between the garage and parking lot across the street even though I had no use of the clutch (blown line). I just put it into first (or reverse as circumstances required) and cranked. The truck would slowly move forward during cranking and then come to life when the engine fired. Then I could drive it around to the garage. :D I'm sure it's harder on the starter, but it does work in a pinch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
