Clutch question

[Blue Angel]

Howdy folks! Thanks in advance for replies and ideas....

In my Cherokee, I have the AX-15 5 speed. When it is first cranked, clutch works just fine. After warmed up, it is really squeaky to push in and is fairly stiff. It disengages fine and shifts normally just harder to depress and squeaks bad. It has a master cylinder on the firewall with the external slave cylinder at the bell housing. They sell a replacement kit that is a pre-primed master/slave with tubing. Is this a good place to start?

Could it be the throw out bearing or clutch fork bearing? Just looking for ideas on where to start....

I would message "Jeep Parts" on Facebook and see what he says. He buys wholesale jeeps and either sells them as is or parts them out, im pretty sure the parts he sells are warrantied?but either way a team of mechanics goes through there. @BagBat has had experience with him on a slave cylinder and anytime I've talked to him he's pretty easy to talk to.

Ordered a new master/slave set up from Rockauto and it came in yesterday. Will replace it this weekend. Hope it fixes the issues.....I can/will change out the clutch and throw out bearing but, what a pain....

Pretty sure your going to need a pressure plate and a throw out bearing. Your welcome to use my lift jimmy.

Thanks Mark!

Changed out the master/slave a few minutes ago and it is MUCH better. I DO have a noisy TOB so I will be changing the clutch, etc., sometime this year. Also put on extended rear bump stops by Daystar.
