Clutch Slave Cylinder: Service and Repair
EXCEPT WRANGLER
1. Raise vehicle and disconnect hydraulic line at cylinder.
2. Remove throwout lever to cylinder pushrod retaining spring.
3. Remove slave cylinder, heat shield, throwout lever pivot, washer and seal from clutch housing. On some 1983-86 models, fluid leakage from one
or both of the clutch cylinders may be caused by formation of an abrasive substance in the system fluid due to a chemical reaction between the
master cylinder to slave cylinder hose and the fluid. If cylinder leaks are observed on these models, proceed as follows:
a. Inspect system to determine which cylinder is leaking.
b. If slave cylinder is leaking, remove, clean and overhaul the cylinder. If master cylinder is leaking, remove and discard cylinder.
c. Remove and discard hose that connects master cylinder to slave cylinder.
d. Drain fluid from any cylinder not removed.
e. Install replacement master cylinder or repaired slave cylinder.
f.
Install replacement hose 8953 004 162 for models with 4 cylinder engine, 8953 004 164 for models with 6 cylinder engines, or suitable
equivalents.
g. Refill and bleed system as outlined, using DOT 3 brake fluid.
h. Verify proper clutch operation and ensure that all hose connections are tight and free from leaks.
