Hope this works!

Well, I been dreading doing the transmission and would cost quite a bit to have it rebuilt. I have been doing some digging and it seems like a lot of my symptoms I have occured can be caused by the hydraulic system either between the slave or master cylinder. Well...This is the cheapest route, with all brand new parts its cheaper then rebuild and would prolly make it work like normal again!! luckily.

Parts I bought:

Flywheel
Clutch kit
Clutch slave cylinder
Oil pan gasket set
Rear Main seal
Clutch Master Cylinder
New oil, oil filter


Hopefully this will all get done this weekend! I'll take as many pictures as possible.

You are going to have a loooooooooooooooooong weekend! Don't forget Mother's day.

Last weekend, I replaced the clutch for Bronc 17113. I couldn't get the flywheel out in time to have it resurfaced, so I went to O'Riley and bought a new one. When we got his truck together, started up, it shrieked like a Banshee and spit sparks out the bell housing.

The new flywheel is the prime suspect. I'll have it off the truck tomorrow night. If I can get it returned Friday night, I'll have the old clutch in to CarQuest early Saturday for resurfacing.

Where are you doing all this work?

Mike, go talk to Bill @ Mountain High Performance. I believe he charged me $25 or $30 dollars last time and he always does nice work. He's not to far from the house. 52nd and Ward to the west of ATS diesel. The number to his shop is 303-420-6218.

[CodeXJ]

Where are you doing all this work?ouch!! I just got a new flywheel from o reilly hopefully mine will do just fine :( I will be doing this in Arvada at my uncles house since their drive way is flat and they have all the tools needed. my uncle has a cherokee with 5 speed in it so he gots the tools ready. :D It will deff be a looong weekend but I need it done. :(


Rear main seal.....oh for joy!! Good luck :thumb: I know right been needing to do that it leaks.. Only reason I'm doing it is because I'll have everything tore apart on it anyways why not do it since its bad :D

Thanks for the tip Jon! I'll have to give him a hollar.


ouch!! I just got a new flywheel from o reilly hopefully mine will do just fine :( I hope so too! After some careful checking with a straight edge and digital caliper, I found the flywheel was machined wrong, the side toward the engine sits too close to the block. The shrieking and sparks were made by the flywheel hitting the starter. :mad:

[Popsgarage]

He's always treated me really well.

[Hypoid]

Closed on Saturday. :(

[Popsgarage]

Closed on Saturday.

What???? He's been open on Saturdays for the last 10 years. Hmmmmmm.... I'm gonna have to have a talk with that man. Sorry Mike.

[Hypoid]

I'm putting words in his mouth. When I called, he said "I'm closed today."

Coincidently, both the Carquest stores who say they can do the work, don't have anyone to reface the flywheel today. I'm trying the store on Old Wadsworth next.

[Popsgarage]

If nothing else, drop it off in front of the door with your name, number and what needs done written on it and on Monday he'll give you a call saying it's done. I've done that a time or two.

[Hypoid]

It's all back together now. The back side of the flywheel at Advance, measured within .001" of the factory unit.

Maybe by the afternoon,my Mrs will get bored with me and send me back to the workshop. Once the fluids get topped and the clutch gets bled, I can take it off the stands. :)

[Popsgarage]

Good to hear!

[Brody]

Good luck with this, both of you! Hate it when stuff like the flywheel is crappy...

[Hypoid]

This truck went home tonight, flywheel still rubs.

I did not see what was in front of me. When I took the original off, there was damage to the block plate caused by the old flywheel rubbing. My landlord looked at it and told me the crankshaft was walking, because the crankshaft thrust bearing was worn out. He blames it on driver habit, sitting at a stop with the clutch pushed in.

Cody, I hope your weekend went better.

[Rick]

flywheel still rubs. Bummer

Really???? I don't think I've heard that one before.

haha! I am actually gathering all my pictures! My jeep is a lot different then before. :D I just need a minute to f\start thread prolly tomorrow after work.


On top of what I did this weekend. I decided against ripping out the entire clutch and other parts due to the fact that I could not tell anything wrong with the master cylinder nor slave. the slave is not leaking, the master cylinder is holding pressure just fine and the clutch is still relatively new. I have decided to wait and do everything WHEN I need to rebuild the tranny to save the hassle of doing it twice.

Though, I did end up bleeding out the cylinders with new fluid, and drained the transmission and put in penzzoil Syncromesh which is amazing so far!

I also did the rear main seal and oil pan gasket. No pictures due to the fact I was all dirty but it was not a very difficult task and I'm sure many here know how to do a rear main. It took about 2 hour to have everything out and done and installed.

It took about 2 hour to have everything out and done and installed. It really helps when you don't have to lift the body, so the oil pan can clear the axle. ;)

With my new 7.5" lift and 33's me and my uncle litteraly just sat under there and did it. lifted vehicles make room for easier work space. After the bolts came out there was nothing in the way to stop that pan from just falling right on out. :D Hows your clutch problem been coming?

I love them RCX brackets. :D

[CodeXJ]

This is what my jeep looks like now. compare to avatar til i get new pics posted and build thread up. :D

[glacierpaul]

Looks killer!
