The clutch slave is on the outside of the gearbox on a KJ. No need to take of anything else.
The master and slave is a prebled kit (when you get it from Jeep).

| Post subject: | Clutch Adjustment? |
I was wondering if it possible to adjust the clutch on my 2003 jeep liberty. I know the clutch is about to die. When i shift, i have to put the clutch pedal all the way to the ground, then it is a pain in the butt to shift into 1st gear, 2nd gear. 3rd is ok, 4th also and 5th. Any one have a suggestion? thanks |

No adjustments on the clutch for a KJ. Just get a new clutch and slave cylinder.Just remember you can not machine the flywheel,either scuff up the old one slightly with 180 grit sand paper or buy a new flywheel.Your flywheel has a special dome shape to it that is required for proper clutch operation and machining it removes that dome and you will have issues. |

Today, during the daylight, i went under the KJ and noticed that i am leaking fluid from the slave cyinder. I assume that this is the problem as to why i am having a hard time disengaged my gears.. any one else have a suggestion? the resivor tank is empty.. i assume it is the slave cylinder? |

Sounds like the problem. I would replace the clutch and slave cylinder and the same time.(like Troy suggested) I changed the clutch on my son's truck and 6 months later had to take it all apart again to change out the slave cylinder. |

The slave is fitted with two nuts. So that's easy. To bleed it is SOB job. That's why master and slave come as a kit with the line already fitted/fluid already in there. Go that way since the slave does not have a bleed valve! |
