Hello, I am not sure where to start, but here goes. I am new here as I just bought my jeep a month or so ago. The car is a 1990 6cyl manual cherokee. My problem is as follows.
The clutch does not disengage. It felt low but ok when I bought it, but over the last two days the position it disconnected at dropped to the floor and now it won't really shift. The fluid in the master cylender is a little above the Min. line, and though the fluid looks a little nasty, it seems to have plenty. The clutch is not worn as far as I can tell. It has never smelled bad and does not slip. When I looked at it after I relized that it was a problem, the boot that covers the hole to the inside of the clutch housing was loose, and I think that there is a LOT of play in the line there. Could the piston be disconnected inside the housing? My haynes and chilton all have great info for the cars that have the slave on the outside of the bell housing, but none for the ones on the inside.
Has this happened to anyone?
How do I get to the inside to look?
What is reccomended?
