[QUOTE="machoheadgames, post: 428711, member: 18789"] Okay year doesn't matter anymore, I have all the details I need to know. 0.75" tells me it's at least a 92 and the external slave tells me it's at least a 94 (and would have also answered the pilot tip question due to age). If it has a shifter or shifter base with the stub shaft sticking out, a picture of that would tell me if it's a YJ or TJ model transmission. Doesn't really matter except that you will want the YJ shifter. You will need a special pilot bearing or bushing (I don't remember which) but it is what people use to adapt a 0.75" AX15 to a 91 4.0 or any 4.2. The AX15 back in those years were 0.59" as were the Peugeots. So that will definitely be an issue. After searching, I believe it is the 7501357 part number listed at [URL='https://www.novak-adapt.com/catalog/pilot-bushings/amc-jeep-t18-t150']Novak.[/URL] Looks to be a bushing and not a bearing. No big deal either way. Also, buying clutch disc and pressure plate should work, and so will the 4.2L flywheel, but you will need to order a throwout bearing for a 94+ Jeep.

You might also need the clutch fork and some of that type of hardware stuff (pivot ball, clutch fork retainer spring which holds the fork in place on the pivot ball inside the bellhousing). Make sure bellhousing has the studs for the slave cylinder to go onto, you will need those. They can be bought new if needed.
