'93 Sport, AX-15, I-6
I've "snapped" 3 clutch masters in the past 6 months and I wanted to see if anyone else has had the same problem. The part is breaking at the point where the molded plastic and metal rod are formed together - photos attached. I'm trying to figure out if it's a part issue, or hydraulic line issue. I've got no confidence in either right now. O'Reilly's is happily replacing the part, but it's still an hour plus of my time to swap it.
Looks like from 91-93 Jeep used a nylon hydraulic line with a reverse flair, roll pin, and o-ring at the master; and a quick disconnet at the line leading to the internal slave. Bad design with lots of spots for air to leak into the system. I've bled it a number of times (with each mc change and other times) and the pedal pressure doesn't seem to take super-human strength to engage.
Anyone else had this "snapping" problem?
I've been using another forum, but I'm going to transition over to
. The other forum was the one I first found when I bought the xj. But, kind of a bad vibe over there now.
Any input would be appreciated.
