For the benefit of any future historians who find this thread, I took it to a transmission shop who said there was significant internal damage to the transmission -- shift rods, synchros and gears -- and to change the clutch while they were at it. So -- wisely or otherwise -- I had it rebuilt...

There's no adjustment at the pedal or the slave on these manual KJ's. I guess you could bolt the slave on with 180 degree rotation but it seems symmetrical as far as I can tell. I don't know which direction I would *want* to adjust it. If (say) I put a spacer at the slave, the bite point...

@KJowner no, it doesn't seem to help. Also the bite point is still very high even when it's dragging -- as in, you still have to bring your foot almost all the way up to get any bite. So, the hydraulics *feel* pretty strong. I drove with a failing slave once, and I've driven it with air...

In fairness to the plastic slave cylinder, it probably contains metal on the inside, and replacing it didn't solve my problem, so I guess it was working fine after all. Though, there used to be a weird creaking sound when you pushed the clutch pedal which is now largely gone, so maybe I can...

Thanks for taking a look! Just swapped it out for a new one, the least cheap-looking I could find, which seems to be an aluminum body rather than plastic -- not sure whether that's more likely to last or will just absorb more heat -- but either way, fingers crossed it fixes the problem and...

Hi all I have a 2004 KJ, 3.7l, manual transmission, with about 160k miles. I've recently developed what seems to be a dragging clutch which, if confirmed, would be only 8k miles after a new clutch and clutch slave. (That's not the first replacement for either -- it's a long and sad story...

+1 on the rear LCA recall -- if your jeep hasn't had the recall done, it's almost certainly worth doing to be safe, and it's free. A long shot but it happened to me: if your steering rack bushings are toast this can have somewhat similar symptoms to an alignment problem or death wobble: it's...

So I just did this on my '04 (3.7L 4WD Sport). Thanks a ton for the advice guys! This saved me a boatload of money and having to listen to more people I'm paying tell me it "just drives that way" (with 1/4" vertical play in the rack). Anyway, a few things to add to what others have said: -...
