U have what is called a hydraulic clutch, one of the hydraulic cylinders hs failed, there is a master and a slave cylinder. The most likely and most common cylinder to fail is the slave cylinder, this requires the transmission to be pulled out to replace it. the art is around $125.00, while the trans is out u might as well replace the clutch, the labor is about the same. Here is a picture of the part, let me know if u can see it.

Is there a very short term solution? I just want to get the jeep from my Dad's house home and I don't want to have it towed. Once i have it at my place I can do the more extensive work.

Thanks

Try bleeding it first - to see if there is any air in the lines

1990 Jeep Wrangler: When I depress the clutch petal with the engine running and the transmission in 1st, the jeep wants to move forward. I have to time the engine speed to shift from 3rd to 2nd and from...

Sounds like a leaking master or slave for the clutch that is not permitting full disengagement. If it only happens when cold it could also be caused by incorrect lube (too heavy) in the transmission, but that is unusual.
Make sure the fluid in the clutch master cylinder is full and that there is no visible seepage where the rod enters from the pedal and that there also is no seepage at the slave unit.

97 jeep wrangler sport, mechanic changes clutch

If the pilot bearing was the problem it would make noise with the clutch pushed and go away when you let it out. Have you checked the fluid level in the transmission?

How to replace the clutch? I have a hydraulic clutch and the petal went to the floor today, I assume the clutch went out

the first thing that i would check is the fluid level in the clutch master cylinder. It is just like the brake system. When there is not enough fluid or if there is air in the system this can cause the pedal to go to the floor. If this is ok then a portion of the clutch MIGHT have went out. Let me know if the hydraulics are ok.

1991 jeep wrangler sahara shifting promblems

Your clutch is not disengaging. If it a hydrolic clutch chk. the fluid in resavor, Or slave cyl. for the clutch is bad, Or it has got air in it and needs to be bleed. This is a clutch problem, nothing wrong with trans. If its a manual clutch linkage its an ajustment thing. My best guess if its hydrolic slave cyl. went bad, or resavor is out of fluid.

1991 jeep wrangler not shifting into gear could this be clutch

I would first bleed the tranny lines, if that doesnt work then your tranny is out and need to get it replaced. FYI with Jeep Wranglers, It is better to get a new transmission then to rebuild them
