Was out playin' in the mud today and the clutch stopped fully disengaging.
First started before we even got to the lake. Just pulled up the road entrance and couldn't downshift. Powershifted down and stopped to take a look. Couldn't find anything obvious, so I started it back up and it worked fine.
Bombed around for a bit, ended up having to tow my buddy home cause his truck had the exact opposite problem (clutch wouldn't engage after I pulled him out of a puddle).
My XJ though, pulled him to the highway without issue, then as soon as we got to the higway (same place it started the first time) the clutch died on me again.
We did a quick bleed of the slave. Buddy pumped and held, I opened the bleeder, got sprayed in the eyes (was pretty high pressure), torque back down, and no change. I just drove home 70km through rush hour traffic, powershifting the whole way. Clutch started working again sporadically, but I tried not to use it unless absolutely necessary.
So looking around, there's no fluid leaking externally as far as I can tell. The pedal feels pretty much normal, there's no air in the slave. What's goin' on?
