OK, this sucks. I just spent $640 on the convertion kit to make my '89XJ have an external slave. The instilation went smoothly, and I thought I had fixed my clutch problems forever! Boy was I wrong. I took it out to Clear Creek to get in a bit of weekend wheelin, and not even 100 yards into the dirt I loose all pressure on the pedal, compleate with smoke from under the hood. After it cooled down and the smoke cleared, I saw a huge (3cm) hole blown in the plastic line running from master to slave. Tried putting a 2" peice of hose over the ends of the line after cutting out the bad section, but even the hose clamps couldn't hold back the pressure. Not to mentioon that even if they could, there is no bleed screw on the friggin thing, just a threaded port that leads to nowhere.
I got it home ok, and upon visiting the stealership today, they have no friggin clue what I'm talking about with the one peice mc/sc unit. I think the parts guy there is clueless. So my question is do I have to spend another $145 just to fix this little hole? Can I just get a replacement line? And what happens if I were like 50 miles out? It seems that there is no way to splice and bleed the unit on the trail, and I'd have to wheel cluchless all the way out? Bad move on jeeps part methinks.
