internal to external slave cyl switch

[jrlkaya]

I'm looking into buying a 94 yj that has a leaky slave cylinder. As I've come to understand yj's have an internal slave cyl. The repair was quoted @ around $500. Does this seem okay? I'm not equipped to do this kind of extensive repair at home, so it will have to go to a shop. Can the internal unit be converted to an external unit? If so should I have the shop do this if I get this Jeep. Any help is appreciated.

You can't use another slave for your jeep unless you change your bellhousing. You need to get a bellhousing from a 94 or later jeep that was made for an external slave setup. You're going to need all of the internal parts for the new clutch. (throwout bearing, fork, etc.)

I converted my 92 and it's the best way to fix it .
I'm quite sure that the 1994 and up YJs were external but just in case here is the stuff needed to convert internal to external.

Pulling the engine is the best way to change the clutch it only takes about 1/2 hour to get the motor out and you don't have to work on your back
