Ok after I drive for about 30 min or so
and park my 88 yj 4.2 the clutch fluid starts
leaking out in the area around the bell housing
it is only the amount of a 50 cent peice but why is it
leaking anyone had similar problems ??? And about every
500 miles or so I have to bleed the clutch to get a
firm pedal back........ :-( :-? :-( [addsig]

Get ready to buy a Slave Cylinder! and may as well do the clutch at the same time if it is an internal slave. Been there and did that. tug[addsig]

My 2.5L was internal and it ran me 135.00 at NAPA. Saved 50.00 over the dealers cost. I cheated and had mine put in by Jerrys auto here in town. Seems to be a pretty straight forward job though. You may have an externail slave on yours I will keep my fingers crossed for you on that one! tug[addsig]

if its leaking from the bellhousing, its internal... its integrated with the throwout and slides over the input shaft... its not going to be fun to change... either your schedule suffers a lot, or your wallet suffers and saves some of your schedule[addsig]

'87 to '93 is internal clutch slave, '94 to present is external. You can change the external slave without dropping the transmission, and they tend to last longer. If you can get a '94 or newer bellhousing and transmission input housing, it's a nice conversion to switch over to external. Can't do it if you have the Peugeot BA10/5 transmission, only the AX5 and AX15.

You'll need to drop the transmission to replace the internal slave, may as well replace the clutch while you're in there.[addsig]
