so today i noticed that there was a puddle of fluid under my clutch peddle in the cab and poked my head under the dash to see where it was coming from. i dont know all the component names here so forgive me if im calling things something they arent, but it seems that the part that the linkage/plunger goes into is leaking at the bottom side that locks into the mettle bracket. just need to know what part/parts need to be replaced. see pics for a better understanding of what im looking at. thnx for the help guys.

 

This may be a bit hard to explain, but that white rod is attached to a pivot, which is attached to your clutch peddle. That rod pushes in when you clutch to force fluid into the slave.
on that valve (the black part) is two O rings, i think the inner O-ring let loose.

 

i kinda assumed that there was an o-ring or some sort of seal that let go. is it a simple matter of replacing an o-ring or the whole part? also, could the fluid leaking cause a softish clutch peddle? it feels all soft for a while now but no matter how hard i try i can make the clutch slip. now that this is leaking its got my hopes up that i might not have to replace slave and clutch... yet

 

I'm sure it has some effect to making the Clutch soft.
I don't even know if you can replace just that part. you might need to ask the parts guy if they sell just that.

 

well i already got a quote for a new master cyldiner ($97.00) but would replacing the master cylinder replace that part? if its relevant the brake fluid leaking is very dirty so i assume you that could have damaged the seal?

 

No, that part won't get replaced. however while the cylinder is off, you can probably change the part.

 

ok thnx. do you (or anyone else) know what part this is? that way i can call and ask for a quote without sounding like a retard trying to explain it haha

 

It would appear that the Clutch Master Cylinder blew the rear seal. I don't believe they sell rebuild kits for it.

Here's a pic of the part in question




Here's a video that might help

 

thanks Rev. that video cleared things up as to what i was looking at and exactly where the leak is coming from. it seems simple enough to change the master cylinder, just a little cramped in there haha. i changed one in my girlfriends 4cl yj back when she had it but theres a mile of room to work on that thing. i seem to recall it being different than this to put in to. i just hope i can keep mine going for a little while anyways. thanks for everyones help!

 

Yea, i knew how it worked, but i can't explain it very well.
Good thing Rev knows his stuff.

 

haha well between the two of you i pretty well got it figured now.
