95 mitsubishi manual. Shifting problems. Changed slave cylinder and bled line and it worked perfectly . Today it won't shift unless engine is off. Should I bleed line again? What else might be wro

Could be a worn out piolet bearing located in the back of the crankshaft in front of the clutch plate.

the slave cylinder has a bad seal and all the oil is draining out
if you have not changed the master cylinder in the past 15 years or past 5 years replace both the slave and master cylinders and bleed the system

Hi Amiralred, I believe the problem is to be found with the clutch plate and most likely to do with a defective center boss. When it is removed I believe you will find that one or more of the torque absorption spring has broken and possibly the center boss. A good idea with clutch plates, is to use original replacement parts if possible. Regards John

You won't be able to put it in any gear or when stepping on clutch pedal you'll have a load noise

I would be checking the engine mounts as the shudder is when the engine is bouncing around under load
it it has a cable operated clutch, the problem could be that as the engine is allowed to move , it is affecting the operation of the pressure plate
it may be true that the distributor may have a problem but in this case , not electrical
distributor problems are limited ,to starting, missing, irregular timing but not what you describe

It sounds like your clutch is out pull inspection cover off and see if you have any lining left on disk

Have you considered the syncronizers? if they are the problem though you will need a mechanic to repair it as they are not DIY unless you have a lot of experience

Your truck has a hydraulic clutch , that works just like brakes. A master cylinder connected to the foot pedal sends fluid to a salve cylinder inside the bell housing. If there is any air in the lines , the slave cylinder will not move far enough to disengage the clutch. The lines can be bled of air bubbles much the same way a brake line can be bled. Hopefully this is the problem. A worn out Master cylinder is not too big of a job to replace , however , on your vehicle the slave cylinder is inside the bell housing of the transmission , and replacing it would require removal of the transmission. If you are not loosing fluid out the slave cylinder it is probably ok.

You have a slave cylinder for this trans. Pump the clutch pedal 25 times with the engine OFF. Then start it and try shifting it into each gear while parked. If this make it work your slave cylinder needs to be replaced

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
