    Will a Jeep XJ Cherokee Clutch Pedal Fit a ZJ Grand Cherokee?

    in Jeep® XJ Cherokee, MJ Comanche Pickup and Grand Cherokee

    Posted

    Shane...i purchased a xj brake and clutch pedal assembly  from  a junkyard. then i remove the zj brake and mounted the xj pedals.  i use the holes which are already in the firewall, this is the brake hole for the brake rod and the hole for the clutch rod, which is near to the brake vacuum booster. i also purchase a new clutch master cylinder and the slave for jeep zj from rock auto.

    new clutch pressure plate assembly, old flywheel from the ax15 trans and had it resurfaced. i used the old trans support from the xj adopted to zj cross member but i drilled new holes to fit. i modified the driveshafts by removing about an inch in the rear and adding 1 inch in the front drive shaft...this is all i do.

    my zj runs good but i don't have a tach and speedo. ill try to use the aftermarket. my zj grand cherokee is converted from FI  to carburetor. this is what i can share.

    Hi! Moses ,

    This is just to fllow up  or to let you know  that the  ax15 transmission that i swap has the  transfer  case attach. we did not remove the transfer case  np 231. so i think theres no issue  about this..  what do you think?  we just have  the front drive shaft lenghten. so i think theres no bottoning here what can you say. its just a cluch problem  and we ran out  of ideas but we will not give up, i believe theres  always a solution  you... the Guru of Jeep. Thanks..

    Hello Mose,

    Agin ill be asking you regarding the pilot bushing that will i use in my convertion,  when the mechanic remover the 42 Re  he didi not change the pilot bushing or the bearing  and he just install the flywhell, the clutch disc, the pressure plate,of the ax 15 from a donor  1993 xy 4.0, we just change a new  hydraulic release bearing, and fit it. we cut the drive shaft  2' from the rear and add 2' to front .as per mechanic advice . so the trans mission fits with no obstacle.  we bleed the line , and then what happens it will not shift  from neutral fo first.. the mechanic told me that our  clutch release bearing moves a liilttle and the pedal is floored already. i dont whats happening here... do i have to change  the pilot  bushing? as we did not change it. its still the old bushing in the crakshsft. the size of the output shsft is  ..750   please help me with this. . i want my zj can run so that i will enjoy drivng it with ax 15. trans.  Thanks.

    HI! Moses,

       Im here again to ask you  about my problem with my ax 15 swap, we change the transmission 42 RE to ax 15 , now we have this problem  me and the mechanic  cannot solve this problem  ,   when he push the clutch pedal   engine at idle  trans will not engage to 1st gear . we shut off the engine engage  1st gear  car on jack  it engages  wheel turning  clutch pedal is depress  wheel continue turning  shift to neutral it will not disengage  very hard., as if the clutch press is not moving. i read to some forums on the jeep who converted 42RE to ax 15  they advice to machine  the ax 15 output shaft  about 3/4 of an inch. im using the internal release bearing as i dont have the external type that needs to change the bell housing. what  will i do first  is to use this internal release bearing  for the car to run and later if i have money ill buy the external with  a  bellhousing for this external slave  cylinder., what will be your advice about this trouble that we are encountering please Help us.do i need to cut out 3/4 in the output shaft. Thank you.
