2010 JKU keeps blowing out clutch slave cylinders.
Hey fist post here! I sure hope others have experienced this. My 2010 Ruby has 50k miles on her. It’s been shifting fine No TOB noise etc. I went to push in the clutch and felt a pop then no pressure.
Fluid dripping from the bellhousing. I have changed the slave cylinder 2 times and the clutch master cylinder once and it still blew a new slave cyl. I have found only 1 thread on this forum with exactly the same issue but changing the master fixed his, not mine. I don’t really see how it fixed his, It seems to me the master can only push a specific amount of fluid which moves the slave arm the prescribed distance to actuate the clutch. Therefore the only thing that could allow the arm to overextend would be a bent clutch fork, bad TOB or worn clutch? But I had no symptoms of any of these. It just worked great then didn’t. I sure hope someone has seen this before. I sure don’t want to drop the trans I’m too old for that! Please help before I shell out the big $$$ to have someone do it. Thanks
