2003 manual transmission clutch has failed

CreepinDeth · Jul 18, 2023

Just happened yesterday
Jeep is sitting, just completed interior and stereo
Tried to take it for a drive and noticed no tension on clutch pedal all the sudden. Sure enough, no engagement.

Anyone have the quick list of things that are prone to fail or where to begin? I have not touched ANYTHING on the drivetrain or linkage. Very odd, but I read theres a slave cylinder…..

1) still have fluid / leaking down the firewall?
2) plastic bushing connecting the pedal to the clutch push rod.
3) Slave is on the outside/drivers side forward ofthe skid plate.

Yes, there is a clutch master and a clutch slave. The master holds fluid and the do go bad, so do the slaves. Master is the small farthest to the drivers side under the hood with a unscrewable cap. Slave is underneath the jeep next to the trans/bellhousing. Meh...you ride a HD, you should be familiar with tools eh?

Ive had several Harleys, and never had to wrench on a single one BEYOND my mods and stereo. I own a few choppers and a Victory Magnum now tho

I had to bust out the Mityvac and bleed the cylinder on the firewall a bit, apparently low on fluid and some air got in. Got it working again

Brain fart, I was at work when I posted this
